Nomadic Matt's Travel Tuesday

= = {NAME}, ​ Hello from NYC! After two months of travel, I'm finally home.....and already planning my next trip! I know it's a cliche, but after 48 hours at home, I was like "Ok, I'm ready to go away again." lol ​ I'm sure as fellow a travel addict you can relate. ​ But that next trip isn't for a couple of months. So, until then, I'm going to enjoy being home and the upcoming fall weather. I'm ready to break out the fall clothes, prep for Halloween, enjoy the leaves changing, and have all the pumpkin spice possible. ​ Coming home after an extended period makes you appreciate not only home but also travel. Home is a respite from the chaos of the road. It's a routine that helps keep you grounded: the comfy bed, healthy eating, regular schedules, friends, and hobbies. ​ But the road? Well, the road is where you push yourself out of your routine. It's the place where you break out of your comfort zone, learn new things, expand your horizons, and learn. ​ Travel makes you appreciate home and home makes you appreciate travel. ​ And so I'll be here until November, recharging my travel battery, getting back into shape, enjoying my favorite season, and looking forward to my next trip. ​ ​ UPCOMING WEBINARS ​[How to Succeed as a Digital Nomad](=)- After almost 20 years as a digital nomad, I've learned what works and what doesn't.
