There’s lots of new faces around here, so I wanted to reintroduce myself! Swipe to learn how I ended up as “Nomadic Matt”! Curious about my new budget guide? Comment NEWBOOK (one word) and I’ll send you more information. Want regular tips, updates, deals, and news? Comment NEWSLETTER and I’ll send you a link for that too! #travel #travelwriter #aboutme #traveltips #travelstories 920 likes · 72 comments · 11 Apr 2025 TODAY IS THE DAY!🎉🎉 My new book, How to Travel the World on $75 a Day, is now out! It is a massively updated version of my old book on budget travel because I wanted a new edition that reflected the current environment we travelers face on the road. (Over 80% of this book is new material!) So much of travel has changed in the last few years that I wanted to make sure you had a guide that helped you travel cheaper, longer, and smarter. If you’re the kind of traveler who is looking to have a life-changing trip without spending a lot of money, this book will show you how to always get the best price possible, get off the beaten path, and meet locals wherever you go! You’ll learn how to always find cheap flights, master points and miles, decode the travel insurance industry, find the best activity deals, get off the beaten path, and meet locals no matter where you go in the world. It has my twenty years of knowledge in one place, distilled into an easy-to-follow format that will ensure you’ll effortlessly navigate the world. No matter how long you are going away for or where you are going, the book is your first step toward making your next dream trip a reality. It is available wherever books are sold as a physical book, ebook, or audiobook! And, if you buy a copy by April 15th, you get bonuses like free guides, signed books, and even a travel journal. Click the link in my bio to learn more about the book, bonuses, and my upcoming book tour. Or comment NEWBOOK and I will send you a link directly! If you have any questions, drop them in the comments. P.S. - This book is my magnum opus on budget travel. It would mean the world to me if you picked up a copy. But, even if you can’t, please consider sharing the book with the travel enthusiasts in your life and help me get the word out! #books #travel #travelbooks #bookstagram #budgettravel 288 likes · 68 comments · 25 Mar 2025 Twenty years later, I still love travel as much as I did back then, even if it looks different now. My advice to you? Never stop and take pictures of everyone because twenty years from now you’ll be glad you have photos of the people who shaped your life. I wish I took more photos. PS if you want travel tips, comment NEWSLETTER and I’ll send you tips so you can have your own adventure. #rtwtravel #2006 #backpacking #travel 04 Nov 2026 Comment NEWSLETTER and I’ll send you a bunch of travel tips that will save you money so you don’t have to put travel off until “later.” Because later never comes. And we don’t realize it until it’s too late. Take that trip, ask that person out, start that business, pick up that hobby. Don’t wait. Because there is no such thing as later. 275 likes · 14 comments · 28 Oct 2026 Comment "Substack" and I'll send you the link to my latest article! I know I've been quiet on here but a lot is going on behind the scenes right now! I'm currently making a few videos (1 is in final edits!), some new carousels, finishing my Substack website, writing articles for Substack, and (most importantly) working on my book. It's been very fulfilling to be so creative again. I have so many ideas I can't wait to do. I'm trying to get better at releasing new content on a better flow but I'm also still figuring out how to juggle all these new projects so just bear with me! But things are happening!! And that's really exciting! I'm the most creatively fulfilled I've been in years! 90 likes · 26 comments · 26 Oct 2026 My travel style has changed a lot since my backpacking days. A lot of it is just a product of getting older and needing more comfort (especially because I am a terrible sleeper) but also what I like has changed too. I now love walking and food tours, I’m a lot more into art, my palate has changed, and I’m a much more adventurous eater! Sometimes I’m like “25 year old me would think what I’m about to eat is sooooo gross!” but heck those fried caterpillars were good! What do you do now that you didn’t do when you were a younger traveler? Comment NEWSLETTER and I’ll send you travel tips to help you get off the beaten path, save money on food, flights, accommodation, and whole lot more! 1,991 likes · 144 comments · 19 Oct 2026 Save these spots for your next trip to NYC! These are some of the places I take my friends to when they visit. And here are some other incredible places I didn’t have photos for but are 100000% worth going to: Thai Villa (Thai) Left Bank (French) Jadis (French) Semma (Indian) Casa Mono (Spanish) Tasty Dumpling (Chinese) Veselka (Ukrainian) Lilli and Loo (Chinese) Flex Mussels (Seafood) Kaia Wine Bar (South African) John’s on Bleecker (Pizza) Kin Ramen (Ramen) Yama (Sushi) For more tips and restaurant suggestions, comment NYCGUIDE (one word!!!!) and I’ll send you a link to my free guide to NYC. #nyc #nyctravel #nycfood #newyorkcity #newyorklife 677 likes · 67 comments · 13 Oct 2026 Here’s my simple five step process for collecting points and miles and redeeming them for flights. I think a lot of people overcomplicate this stuff and that scares people away from taking advantage of these cards. If you pay your bill off each month, having a points earning card is a no brainer. I’ve saved so much money using points for flight and hotels. And, while bloggers and website talk about this system and that system and moving points from X to Y to Z to get a little bit of extra value, 99.99% of people don’t need to do that. Heck, I don’t always do that because I don’t want to spend hours on this to get 1% extra savings. Points are there to save you time and money. So here’s my simple process to follow because I don’t think this stuff should be complicated! And if you want more step-by-step instructions on all of this, my current list of favorite credit cards, and regular updates, comment POINTS and I’ll email you a free guide and a bunch of resources so you can get started and stay up to date! #travelhacking #pointsandmiles #travel #budgettravel #savingmoney 92 likes · 28 comments · 11 Oct 2026 Be sure to use one of these companies for your next trip! The past is not prologue and you never know what can happen when you travel. Delays, cancellations, accidents, illness…..anything can happen! It’s important to be covered so you don’t need to start a GoFundMe! And, since travel insurance is a complex topic and the right policy for you depends on a number of factors, comment TRAVELINSURANCE (one word) and I’ll send you a link to my article on how figure which policy is right for you! @safetywing @insuremytrip @worldnomads @medjetassist #travel #travelinsurance #traveltips #travelsafety 191 likes · 53 comments · 07 Oct 2026 I started a Substack! I’ll be writing on social media, creativity, the travel industry, and book writing process (especially as I complete my first fiction book). I plan to post twice a week for the foreseeable future! I’m really excited to write about topics I’m passionate about that don’t related to saving money on travel! #substack Comment SUBSTACK and I’ll send you the link to my first post! 177 likes · 111 comments · 05 Oct 2026 A meditative day hiking and seeing fall foliage! It was a bit cloudy but, honestly, that gave the hike moody fall vibes and I loved it! A walk in the woods always makes me feel better and gives me all sorts of creative ideas. What about you? #fall #hiking #nyc #newjersey 📍Norvin Green State Forest, New Jersey 316 likes · 7 comments · 04 Oct 2026 Welcome to Matt 2.0 3,844 likes · 267 comments · 01 Oct 2026
