About Matt

Nomadic MattI’m a twenty-something vagabond who has been on the road regularly since 2005. I’m a native of Boston, Mass but lately, everywhere has been my home. After a trip to Thailand in 2005, I decided I to leave the rat race behind and explore the world. I came back to America, finished my Masters, quit my job, and, in July 2006, I set out to travel around the world. I’ve been going ever since.

I’ve been all around America, Central America, Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia. In the fall of 2008, I am moving back to Thailand. Next year, I will begin a trek that will take me from Eastern Europe to Australia-all via land (or sea). Needless to say, I’ll have a lot to write about for a long time.

Traveling brought out the writer in me and I’ve written articles for a few travel websites as well as blogged for Lonely Planet. You can find my work on Matador Trips, Brave New Traveler, Vagabondish, and Expatrialogues.com.

I set this blog up to track my travels as well as give people practical advice on traveling so that they can also explore the world.
