Nomadic Matt’s Travel Planning Services
Let me help you plan your dream trip!
Trying to plan the trip of a lifetime?
Struggling to figure out an itinerary?
Not sure what to do and where to stay?
Want a professional to do all the legwork?
Well, that’s where I come in!
My name is Matthew Kepnes and I am a New York Times bestselling travel writer. I’ve been helping people travel cheaper, better, and longer since 2008. I’ve been to over 100 countries and literally wrote the book on budget travel. It’s called How to Travel the World on $75 a Day and the BBC called it “the bible for budget travelers.”
And I want to make your trip planning easier.
Don’t spend hours upon hours researching flights, activities, hotels, tour companies, or bookmarking restaurants made for tourists.
Don’t wonder if someone’s blog or chatbot is up to date.
With travel experience and industry knowledge, you can be sure the robust itinerary I plan for you will give you the trip of a lifetime!
By hiring me, you’ll get off-the-beaten-path attractions, incredible restaurants found through on-the-ground experience, and connections to the local guides who can really tell you about life in a place.
Save time and take the stress out of travel with my personalized trip planning services!

HOW THE PROCESS WORKS
Step 1: We have a 30 minute planning call to go over your likes, dislikes, and wants.
Step 2: I create a complete itinerary for your trip that includes:
- Day to day break down of things to see and do
- Information on how to get around
- Suggested restaurants for every meal
- Suggested accommodations
- Suggested tour companies for day trips and guided excursions
- Safety considerations and scams to avoid
- Travel insurance and flight suggestions
Step 3: We have a follow up call to go over the completed itinerary.
Step 4: Based on our call, I do one round of revisions.
Step 5: I give you your final itinerary, specifically designed to turn your trip into a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
(Note: I don’t do the actual trip bookings but I’ll give you the blueprint to make them yourself!)
