Ratings and reviews

Great and inspiring book! Since a young age I've always dreamed of exploring the world. With all of the tips from this book, I think I would definitely be able to live a dream. Half of the time I found my mind wandering off about all the adventure I would have from reading this book. Also to mention, the little stories he tells of his adventures are also interesting. I would highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to backpack the world affordably and comfortably.

Matt has an awesome blog and he shares a lot of great tips there. But this is the treasure of all. I would say a bible for the traveler. He told all the insider secrets to travel cheaper. Nothing's hidden! Thank you Matt for this awesome book.

I have been a fan of Matt's blog for a few years. I'm finally at a point in my life where I decided to work towards traveling. So far this book is very inspiring and informative.
