Nomadic Matt's Travel Tuesday

= = {NAME}, ​ Hello from NYC! After a whirlwind weekend of attending TWO weddings (one in Austin, another in LA), I'm back in the city for the foreseeable future. Those two back-to-back weddings really took a lot out of me and I'll be spending this week resting as much as possible. My body is unsure what time zone it is currently in! lol ​ How long until I get itchy feet again is anyone's guess! But, besides working on my next book, I'll be spending the next couple of weeks writing blog posts, including a couple about the gear I use when I travel. I've been getting a lot of questions about what brands I use for luggage, clothes, backpacks, my VPN, etc., etc., and, since I hardly ever write about this stuff, I'm going to update all the old content — and write a few new posts to boot! ​ In fact, this week's new post is on the clothing brand Unbound Merino, which makes amazing travel clothes. I've been wearing them ever since I met the founder years ago. It stands up to the abuse of the road while still being comfy! [You can read the blog here](. ​ But, beyond writing, I'm going to spend the next few months enjoying fall as much as possible. Travel, for all its wonders, makes you appreciate home and routine and, after a non-stop three months, I am very much looking forward to a little routine. ​ ​ UPCOMING WEBINARS ​[Everything You Need to Know About Annual Travel Insurance]() - Since annual travel insurance coverage is one of our most asked about topics, we’ve partnered with [World Nomads]( to help shed light on this important topic.

Here's why I love them — and why I think you should buy their clothes for your next trip! ​ ​ QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Conventional wisdom tells us… we take our baggage with us. I’m not so sure. Travel, at its best, transforms us in ways that aren’t always apparent until we’re back home. Sometimes we do leave our baggage behind, or, even better, it’s misrouted to Cleveland and is never heard from." - Eric Weiner ​ *** ​ As always, if you have any questions, reply to this email. I'll be happy to help. ​ Sincerely, ​ Nomadic Matt ​ P.S. - Booking a trip soon?
