about matt
Matthew Kepnes runs the budget travel website, Nomadic Matt. At 23, he had never left the United States but in 2005 he took a trip to Thailand. The trip convinced Kepnes to quit his job, finish his MBA, and begin traveling the world and blogging about his experiences. Since starting his blog in 2008, he’s helped tens of millions of people travel more for less with time-tested and proven tips and advice.
He’s the New York Times best-selling author of How to Travel the World on $50 a Day, and the memoir Ten Years a Nomad.
