\nPosted:<\/strong> 8\/12\/2019 | August 12th, 2019<\/p>\n

As you know, after eighteen months of writing and editing, my new book, Ten Years a Nomad: A Traveler\u2019s Journey Home<\/a><\/em>, came out last month. <\/p>\n

Unlike my previous books, this is not a \u201chow to guide\u201d but a collection of tips, advice, and stories from the road. It a memoir of my ten years backpacking the world and the lessons I learned along the way. <\/p>\n

This book gets to the heart of wanderlust and what extended travel around the world can teach us about life, ourselves, and our place in the world. (Or at least tries to.)<\/p>\n

It’s meant to show people that if I, a sheltered nerdy kid from a small town, could muster the courage to do this and survive, you can too! <\/p>\n

Cheryl Strayed called it inspiring. The Los Angeles Times<\/em> said, “This book isn\u2019t just for travelers; it\u2019s for anyone who has wanted more and has taken off to find it.” Tony Wheeler, the founder of Lonely Planet<\/em>, loved it. So did Rolf Potts. <\/p>\n

And, more importantly, thousands of readers who keep sending me messages that they couldn’t put it down and it renewed their wanderlust. (For a writer, that’s the best thing we can hear.) <\/p>\n

Over the last month, I’ve done a lot of interviews, videos, podcasts, and guest posts talking not only about my book but how you can travel more often – and be a better traveler when you do. <\/p>\n

So I wanted to share some of what I’ve been up to so you can learn more about the book and get some travel tips at the same time:

Book Your Trip: Logistical Tips and Tricks<\/h4>\n

Book Your Flight<\/strong>
\nFind a cheap flight by using Skyscanner<\/a> or Momondo<\/a>. They are my two favorite search engines because they search websites and airlines around the globe so you always know no stone is left unturned.<\/p>\n

Book Your Accommodation<\/strong>
\nYou can book your hostel with Hostelworld<\/a> as they have the largest inventory. If you want to stay somewhere other than a hostel, use Booking.com<\/a> as they consistently return the cheapest rates for guesthouses and cheap hotels. I use them all the time.<\/p>\n

Don’t Forget Travel Insurance<\/strong>
\nTravel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past. I’ve been using World Nomads<\/a> for ten years. My favorite companies that offer the best service and value are:<\/p>\n
