I can’t believe it’s finally happening. Tomorrow morning, I’m going to be strapping on a backpack and spending the following three weeks walking 300 miles through Spain. Yes, I’m going to be walking the Camino Primitivo, which is 370 km (230 miles) in length, and the Camino Finisterre (120 …
Hi guys! Today, I’m excited to be sharing this guest post from Matt Kepnes, who you probably know as Nomadic Matt. Matt is a friend of mine and I’m excited to share that he’s just released a travel memoir, called Ten Years a Nomad: A Traveler’s Journey Home. I devoured …
Over the past five years of continuous travel, the one question I’ve been asked most is how I manage to score cheap flights. Practically every time I share a monthly update detailing how much I spent on transportation, someone drops me an email to ask how I found such a sweet deal. Given that I don’t own any credit cards, …
Sailing the Greek islands was a trip of firsts. My first time in Greece. My first time on water without experiencing motion sickness. My first time properly learning how to sail.

I’ve spent over a month travelling in Croatia, and I made plenty of packing mistakes back when I visited for the first time. From packing a bulky camera I never used to bringing an ugly hat I never wore, I’ve spent days and days lugging useless items around this country. …
I’ve now been travelling for a year so I decided it was time to look back over my packing list and update what’s currently in my bag! The main difference between what I packed last year and this year is the amount of clothes I am carrying with me! I …
I’ve visited Slovenia three times now and every time I’ve been, I’ve come away impressed. This is such a lovely country! There’s mountains and lakes and beaches and vineyards and cities and rivers and so much to see. I’m fortunate to have visited as a solo backpacker, as part of …
