Kepnes, best known for his website NomadicMatt.com and his 2015 book How To Travel the World on $50 a Day, has upped his budget in this new volume, nodding to the realities of a changing world of travel and what seems to be endlessly rising costs. Focused on long-term budget travel, the updated guide details planning for long and short trips as economically and smartly as possible. Kepnes first covers the initial planning, practical details, and managing the process of travel itself. After arming readers with this advice, the last part of the book focuses on specific countries or regions: Australia, New Zealand, Europe, India, Southeast Asia, Central America, China, Japan, and South America. In these sections, Kepnes breaks down the real costs of travel and gives a sense of what daily life here is like on a narrow range of budgets.
VERDICT Kepnes’s words will be helpful for most travelers, but his primary audience will be aspiring nomads, those on a restricted budget, and travelers hoping to spend a long break on the road. While much of his advice could be found online, the book is a can-do guide in a handy package.
