Posted: 12/6/2021 | December 6th, 2021 This year was a phenomenal reading year (one positive outcome of being stuck at home because of COVID). I managed to read a lot of books on a variety of subjects. Not all of them were winners but most were. As we wrap up the year (and start buying […]

Written by Erica @ Nomadic Matt's Travel Site

This book recounts Adams’s tale of roughing it through Peru in search of Inca ruins and ancient cities while following archaeologist Hiram Bingham’s original route. The book taught me a lot about Peru, and made me inspired to visit a lot of the sites Adams explored on my next trip there. Like him, I fully […]

Posted: 8/16/21 | August 16th, 2021 One of the things I did a lot of this past year was read. (I mean for a while there wasn’t much to do anyway). When I finally hit the road, I read just as much. Buses, ferries, trains — they’re all perfect places to read a book. Happy […]

Written by NomadicMatt @ Nomadic Matt's Travel Site

Posted: 11/12/2020 | November 12th, 2020 This year hasn’t been what anyone expected. As COVID has reminded us, you never know what tomorrow will bring. And, this year, it didn’t bring too many great things (especially for folks like myself working in the tourism industry). However, if there’s been one silver lining, it’s that being […]

Posted: 5/11/20 | May 11th, 2020 With the world on hold for the foreseeable, it’s going to be a long time before we get back on the road. Even as we begin to look to the summer, it’s likely that many destinations will keep their doors shut to international travelers until the fall. But that […]

Written by NomadicMatt @ Nomadic Matt's Travel Site

Posted: 04/07/2020 | April 7th, 2020 At a time when we can’t travel the world, the next best thing we can do is pick up a good travel book. As Emily Dickenson said, to shut our eyes is travel.

Written by NomadicMatt @ Nomadic Matt's Travel Site

Part of the tool belt of any traveler is a good book. Long bus, train, or plane rides can get pretty boring and can give you a lot of “dead” time if you haven’t mastered the art of the 10-hour blank stare. Here is a list of my favorite reads to help you conquer those journeys and get you inspired for your next adventure!
