How To Travel The World on $50 a Day..... Just Get Out and Explore!
Have you been scared away from visiting Europe because it’s just too expensive? Well there’s good news on the horizon. Not only is the dollar strong again and climbing in value against the Euro, but seasoned traveler Matt Kepnes (a.k.a. Nomadic Matt) has shared his secrets for How to Travel The World on $50 a Day.
It’s been 50 years or more since Arthur Frommer first peaked America’s imagination to head to Europe for $5 a day. Generations have now hopped-the-pond to explore Europe, and the world, on a budget. Matt’s terrific guide for traveling smarter in today’s economy should be on everyone’s book shelf.
I’ve traveled pretty extensively myself, but still learned new tips from reading Matt’s chapters on Overseas Banking, ATM techniques and a Credit Card primer for choosing the right card for travel ease and point accumulation.
The real bonus is at the back of the book! Matt provides his readers with a concise and comprehensive resource list of travel companies, booking resources for flights and hotels, backpack companies, discount cards, meal sharing sites, car sharing resources and lots more. Appendix A is worth the cost of the book alone! In Appendix B, Matt shares his favorite travel resources for individual regions of the world.
