Nomadic Matt's Travel Tuesday

= = {NAME}, ​ Hello from NYC! I've been back home for a week now and have been (mostly) focusing on my next book, which is due on Friday!!! The pressure is on to finish it so I can hit my publication date of March 2025. ​ This book is an update to my book on traveling the world on a budget. It's going to share all the tips and tricks for traveling cheap in a post-Rona world. ​ I started this book in earnest in January thinking it would be a quickish update but, since so much of travel has changed, I’ve found myself rewriting and changing more than just a few prices and companies. I’d say this book is probably about 70% new and updated content! ​ I'm excited for it to come out (it will probably be the last edition of it). I'll be doing a spring book tour when it comes out too. ​ I feel like May has gone by in the blink of an eye. In a month, I'll be heading to Europe for the summer. I'll be exploring new regions that have always been on my bucket list so I'm excited about that. And I'm excited to do that without any work pressures. (It will be a nice change of pace!) ​ For those wondering who won our latest giveaway, I'll be sharing the winners next week. ​ And, in a real long shot, I'm looking to get Taylor Swift tickets for my mom and sister for Vienna — either night 1 (8/8) or night 2 (8/9). If anyone has a lead on two tickets, please let me know! It's my sister's birthday so it's going to be my present to her. ​ ​ RECENTLY UPDATED RESOURCES Summer travel is upon us!!
