Nomadic Matt is a pioneering travel blogger. One day, we'll call him the grandfather of travel blogging during the Golden Era of travel blogs. He's not known for his travel feats but rather for the extensive tips he's provided on his popular website, which focuses on budget travel. Watch the Video The book's budget used to be $50/day, but inflation and a post-COVID world forced Matt to update his book. In 2025, he refreshed his bestselling book, which is now called How to Travel the World on $75 a Day.  As part of his book tour, he's appearing on the WanderLearn Show twice! Nomadic Matt discusses 00:00 When to book a hotel 02:40 Why is Africa left out of his book? 05:10 Bilt Rewards Credit Card 08:10 Airline booking tips 09:20 Travel insurance 12:00 Tourist Cards 15:00 Why Matt travels less than before 18:30 Blogging is dead?   Questions What's the most embarrassing or ridiculous thing you've done to save money while traveling? What's the difference between EatWith, WithLocals, and Traveling Spoon? When do you usually book your hotels? Why is Africa left out? Are tourism cards still worth it? When do you use travel insurance? Why not use Kiwi? What are Bilt Rewards? His book is packed with tips. Here are my favorite ones.  The best websites to keep track of the latest credit card deals BoardingArea FlyerTalk The Points Guy View from the Wing Pay your rent and get frequent flyer points with Bilt Rewards Matt's top three airline booking sites  My favorite airline website is Kiwi, and use this link to get $10 off. He doesn't mention Kiwi in his book. Instead, his favorite flight booking sites are: Skyscanner Momondo Google Flights For insurance Safety Wing World Nomads MedjetAssist IMG InsureMyTrip for comparison shopping Sell your old clothes to raise money for your trip Vinted ThredUp Poshmark Online Garage sale to raise funds and downsize VarageSale OfferUp Swappa for electronics Gazelle Decluttr Anytime Mailbox starts at $6 and has several locations. Lodging Sites LateRooms Last Minute Hotel Tonight Priceline Hotwire Roomer allows you to buy someone else's hotel reservation at a steep discount Agoda excels in East Asia Food Matt is a foodie. I am not. Here are some of his favorite sites: EatWith has 5000+ hosts in over 130 countries WithLocals Traveling Spoon Ride-sharing or hitchhiking for the 21st century Search for "ride-sharing" and the name of the region/country where you are traveling. You'll usually find options. I've used BlaBlaCar in Europe, for example. Tourism Cards Nomadic Matt sold me on the tourism cards that give you access to popular sites and public transportation. Although that can save you nearly half the price, it's only suitable for those doing a whirlwind, fast, and comprehensive tour. If you want to see the British Museum, don't get the London Pass. But it makes sense if you're going to see most of the significant sites. Why is Africa left out? The first half of the book offers general, practical advice. The second provides specific guidance to various regions. For example, he has a section about Australia. You'd think a book that helps travelers live on $75 a day would encourage tourists to visit Africa. Like Southeast Asia, parts of Africa have a low cost of living. For example, in 2013, in Benin, I rented a two-room place with a shower (but a shared outhouse for a toilet) for $10 per month! Ten years later, maybe the price has doubled to $20 a month!   Still, Nomadic Matt confesses, "I had to make trade-offs and omit the lesser-visited countries and regions..." (Kindle Location 1434). I won't quibble with his decision or logic. Conclusion When I got an advanced copy of Nomadic Matt's book, I expected to be bored out of my mind. I figured it was a book for beginners or intermediate travelers, not hyper-experienced travel studs like me.  As usual, I was wrong. Nomadic Matt pumped me with many ideas I was oblivious to. Although I shared my favorite ones on this page, buy How to Travel the World on $75 a Day to get all his excellent advice.

​איילה צורף הייתה כתבת ועורכת בדה-מרקר ולאחר מכן הקימה וניהלה את יחידת הדיגיטל הקונצרני של קבוצת תנובה, עד שפשוט קרה למה מה שקורה לטובים ביותר – משבר גיל ה-40. איילה חיפשה משהו שיעניין אותה, ומתוך סקרנות היא התחילה לחקור את העולם של כלכלה שיתופית – עולם שלטענתה כאן בכדי להישאר, עם מודלים כמו Eatwith, Uber ו-Airbnb. היום, 6 שנים אחרי, היא מובילה את התחום כיועצת ומרצה, עובדת עם הארגונים הגדולים במשק בראשם צה"ל. דיברנו על למה כלכלה שיתופית היא דבר כזה מסעיר, למה בכל זאת יש עליו ביקורות (הוא לא רק פרפרים ופרחים כמו שהרוב חושבים), איפה הכלכלה השיתופית פוגשת את המותגים והמנהלים של החברות הגדולות במשק ואיך השתמשו בה גם בצבא במיזם חדש. דיברנו על הצורך האנושי שהיא ממלאת, וניתחנו את דור המילניאלז שרואה בשיתוף חלק בלתי נפרד מהחיים שלו. לסיום, דיברנו על איך צ'רציל השתמש בעבר במודלים שהולכים להשתמש בהם בעתיד הקרוב בצבא, למה אם לא יהיה win-win אמיתי לכל הצדדים זה לא יעבוד ומדוע עדיין יש לה בעיה עם Uber. זו הייתה שיחה מרתקת ואני ממליץ לכם להאזין, שלכם, גפן.

I was pleased to receive Paul Bulencea who has published the book Gamification in Tourism. In this episode, we spoke on: How to Design Extraordinary Travel Experiences thru Gamification. The travel industry is at a point where market differentiation has become more crucial than ever. Tourism is extremely accessible. More and more tourists have become very skilled at using search and metasearch engines to find the best price-quality ratio for tourism services. Businesses started to do cost-cutting and automation of their services in order to remain competitive. Cheap and fast access to destinations has triggered destinations and tourism businesses to compete in a global market that now has also competitors from the rapid growing sharing economy (Airbnb, Uber, Eatwith).

#85: Like many people, Nick Loper used to work a full-time job that didn't excite him. Unlike most people, Loper decided to escape his uninspiring work life. First, he launched a shoe-comparison website that began collecting side income. Over time, this side project grew increasingly profitable, until -- finally -- he thought he could run this website full-time. Loper quit his job. That's when all hell broke loose. Within days, Loper's website lost 80 percent of its search traffic and advertising revenue. Loper found himself both unemployed and without a viable business. He spent several months correcting course, making his business solvent again. More importantly, he learned the importance of creating *multiple streams of income.* Loper launched multiple small side businesses in order to diversify his income. Some succeeded; others quietly fizzled out. He made enough 'small bets' that he wound up with a handful of winners. Today, his income comes from a cacophony of different sources. He's diversified. Loper joins us on this week's episode to explain how to develop a "side hustle," a small micro-business that provides a supplemental source of income.     Here are some of his suggestions: #1: Tap the Sharing Economy We've heard about Uber, Lyft, Airbnb, Instacart and TaskRabbit -- popular 'sharing economy' platforms that allow people to turn their car, home and/or time into extra cash. But beyond those obvious examples, there are plenty of sharing-economy websites that niche down into higher-paying specializations, such as: http://Turo.com -- A website in which you can rent your car; no driving required. You make money from the asset, not from your time. http://EatWith.com -- A dinner-party-hosting website ideal for people who are skilled cooks, chefs, or party hosts, but don't necessarily have the capital to start their own restaurant. "Each of these is a little mini-search-engine," Loper says. 2. Freelancing / Expertise-Based Businesses The stronger your expertise, the more money you can potentially earn. After all, you're not just selling your time; you're selling your *knowledge.* Websites that help people profit from their expertise include: http://TheExpertInstitute.com -- A website where attorneys look for expert witnesses. http://Thumbtack.com -- A website for service professionals, from CAD designers to nutritionists to CPR training. http://Wyzant.com -- A website for expert tutors in every subject from calculus to piano. http://Clarity.fm -- A website for on-demand coaching or consulting from experts. 3. E-Commerce Loper outlines two models for selling physical products online:      - **The Retail Arbitrage Model:** Under this model, you find and flip items online. - **The Private Label Model:** Under this model, you design, manufacture, package and import your own product. Loper dives into details about all of these side hustle opportunities -- and also describes the biggest mistakes that he sees entrepreneurs and wantrapraneurs make -- in today's episode. Enjoy! ________________ Resources Mentioned: Side Hustle Nation http://www.sidehustlenation.com 200 Sharing Economy Platforms http://www.sidehustlenation.com/sharing-economy-make-extra-money Steve Chou episode of the Afford Anything Podcast http://podcast.affordanything.com/make-100000-year-online-steve-chou-wife-quit-job

Carl speaks to Guy Michlin, the founder of EatWith, which brings people together to dine in the homes of professional chefs and amateur cooks around the world. (Recorded in San Francisco on June 1, 2015)   Topics covered include: 1. Eating well and convivially in more than 150 cities 2. What it means to "disrupt" the restaurant industry 3. How food brings us together 4. Smartphone etiquette at the table 5. Making "social dining" available to all social groups 6. How food culture varies across nations 7. Curating the social mix round the dinner table   Download in iTunes Visit the EatWith website

Chase and Jenna chat with Guy Michlin about how EatWith is providing a marketplace to connect diners and hosts.

Airbnb, Uber, Lyft, EatWith, and other companies in the “sharing economy” are practically daring government regulators to shut them down. The regulators are happy to comply.

After 8 years in a suit and tie as an economist and strategy consultant in Australia, Joel bought himself a big knife and moved to Barcelona, to start a cooking school. Now he’s changing the way people travel and eat, running EatWith in Spain - a rapidly growing “Airbnb for eating” that brings together private hosts who love to cook with travelers longing for authentic local cuisine, a peek into the pots and a seat at the table in a cosy home instead of some tourist trap eatery. But as always with cooking and eating, things can go wrong and guests can be picky - tastes, attitudes towards food and sharing the family table, expectations and food culture are different everywhere, cuisine being such a central component of every culture. So do quality control and authenticity go together well? And what’s the recipe for enabling food sharing on a global scale?
