I had the pleasure of meeting the super-intense and focused person that is Nomadic Matt this summer at the Travel Blog Exchange in Chicago.
We talked shop over a few beers in the sunshine and he told me about how his own personal blog has morphed into the advice hub for the long term traveler that it is today.
“I started my website as a way to document my trip for my family and friends,” he says. “It has caught on with people, and slowly become more and more popular. As it has done so, I’ve turned it into a site for advice and tips for long term travelers.”
His website is not just full of his travel stories, it’s also got in depth answers to all the burning questions that long-term travelers inevitably have. From teaching English to choosing the right backpack, he’s got a lot of great tips and personal advice.
Matt’s latest dispatch is from the sewers of Paris, France. Check it out at NomadicMatt.com.

I’m pretty sure this could be a great help for me and for all my travels. I’d be passing this along to my readers. Thank you!
