Nomadic Matt's Travel Tuesday

​ {NAME}, ​ Greetings from New Orleans! I was in the city this weekend to celebrate Halloween with a group of friends. New Orleans is already kind of a "spooky" place thanks to its voodoo, pirate, and ghost history. There are just spooky vibes all around. Throw in Halloween and it's extra spooky. (Plus, Taylor Swift played here this weekend so the city was extra packed with people in costumes!) ​ For many of my friends, this was their first time in the city so I put on my tour guide hat and showed them some of my favorite haunts, eateries, bars, and attractions. They left as super fans of NOLA, which is great because I love the city and I'm glad I could make my friends fans too! ​ Now, I'm heading back to NYC to prepare for my trip to Peru. Last Friday, I also turned in my final book edits so I can fully prepare for my upcoming trip! All my treks are booked so it's time to start doing some cardio! I have three weeks to get into somewhat better shape! Peru has been on my bucket list for a long time so I'm super psyched to finally be going! ​ Outside of that, be sure to check out our upcoming webinars as we have a lot and our updated guides as we've been busy updating content lately! ​ 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.
