The Expeditioner Presents (Episode 5): Budget Travel with Matt Kepnes (Nomadic Matt)

In the fifth episode of The Expeditioner Presents, I sit down with Matt Kepnes of NomadicMatt.com to discuss budget travel. As the founder of NomadicMatt.com, Matt has been providing tips and advice on budget travel to his readers for years.

Matt and I discuss his recently published book, How to Travel the World on $50 a Day, a comprehensive guide to planning your next trip and how to save money while traveling. We also discuss my own pet peeve about the subways in New York (where’s the personal space?), and Matt reveals his three must-know tips on how to save money during your travels.

The Expeditioner Presents (Episode 4): Puerto Rico with Mickela Mallozzi

In the fourth episode of The Expeditioner Presents, I sit down with Mickela Mallozzi of TravelBareFeet.com to discuss Puerto Rico. Bare Feet is a travel web series and blog featuring the different ways people celebrate together around the world, with a focus on dance, music and traditional culture, featuring videos hosted and produced by Mickela herself.

Mickela and I discuss our experiences and tips from our recent travels to Puerto Rico, including Mickela’s tips on where to experience the local dance scene and learn the local dance Bomba, why Mickela believes dance is such a great way to learn about other cultures, and my own experience exploring the small island of Culebra off the eastern part of the Puerto Rico mainland.

And just to spice things up a bit, I recount my recent outing to see the show Showgirls: The Musical, based on, yes, believe it or not, Showgirls (the movie) — hilarity and awkwardness ensue.

The Expeditioner Presents (Episode 2): Guatemala with Luke Armstrong

In the second episode of The Expeditioner Presents, I sit down with Luke Armstrong to discuss Guatemala. Luke backpacked his way through Latin America after college and ended up in Guatemala for several years working as the director for La Asociación Nuestros Ahijados, so he knows the country well.

Luke and I recount our recent travels together throughout the country, including trips to Antigua, Lake Atitlan, Tikal and Semuc Champey, and discuss Luke’s future plans for a new charitable organization centered around empowering local volunteers with strong oversight to maximize results. We’re also just about to start barbecuing in my backyard, hence the informal attire.
