March 30 and 31st we spent on planes trains and omnibusses and arrived in Bariloche 40 hours later. We purchased deluxe camas which allowed us to recline the seats flat like a bed. Our little hotel was right downtown. What it lacks in size and comfort it more than makes up for in antiquated electrical design. The light switch inside the shower makes me laugh.We have been able to go for hikes

It is with mixed emotions that we head out the weather here has been so perfect yielding early spring weather buds on the maple tree robins and ducks returning and shoots in the ground. Recently we have had a first sighting ever of a grey wolf on the road and a morning dove in a nearby tree.But the open road has its own lure and we have thoughts of new places to

Walking around is lovely during the

Every second of every day, one of us makes a decision to spread our proverbial wings and travel. Usually a fair number of questions accompany that decision. Whether one is a seasoned traveler or a first-timer, sorting out the many details can be a daunting task.

Whether one is a seasoned traveler or a first-timer, sorting out the many details can be a daunting task.

Venturing out into unknown territory can throw up several roadblocks when we aren’t sure where to find the information we want and/or need. Enter Nomadic Matt and his latest e-book: Nomadic Matt’s Secrets To Successful World Travel. Weighing in at 140 pages, it may appear to be a hefty read. In reality, it is well worth the time and the $20.00USD purchase price.

About The Author:

Matt has been on the road for over three years while blogging about his travels for two (and counting). His blog earns enough to keep him in perpetual motion. His first e-book, How to Make Money with Your Travel Blog, has also aided in keeping Matt on the move. Now he’s back with his newest release.

The Review:

Nomadic Matt’s Secrets To Successful World Travel is divided into four chapters: Pre-Trip Planning, On the Road, Coming Home and Frequently Asked Questions. Each section is packed full of useful information and links to important websites. Matt has included commentary on his own travel experiences, which makes this book a very cohesive piece of work. He has addressed issues from packing lists to regional daily costs to banking to airline reservations.

Throw in the unexpected things of motivation, travel behavior and the “readjustment blues” and very few questions will be left unanswered.

Throw in the unexpected things of motivation, travel behavior and the “readjustment blues” and very few questions will be left unanswered. I think I only came up with one though can’t remember it now…

Looking to volunteer, it’s covered. Regardless of your wants/needs – you’re sure to find what you’re looking for somewhere within it’s depths. Oops, almost forgot to mention – the design work is as awesome as the information.

I spent my last day in Tanzania volunteering and spending time with my new local friends. I taught both classes at the nursery school the real youngsters 35 and the older class 57 and played outside. These kids are so smart for how young they are it blew my mind. They can all say the ABCs and count really high. Their math skills impressed me the most as they could do both basic addition a
