Nomadic Matt's Travel Site
Why use Nomadic Matt? "Matt's website is a key part of our research and planning process for our own RTW trip. Matt's site not only has good guides for the countries and areas that we are going to, but has Matt's own views and advice of what to do and where to go. Maybe even more importantly, Matt shares what not to do!"
My 90 day limit is fast approaching and I’ve heard bad, expensive things happen to travelers who overstay their welcome in Guatemala . I’ve bought my ticket to San Cristobal in Mexico and can’t really say I’m excited about the 10+ hour bus journey that starts at 5am. It’s Sunday.

No Impact Man
I spent much of this morning on the phone with a friend who is one of the top leaders in corporate sustainability. He wanted to know my thoughts on "innovation" and "progress." Did I think they were good or bad? Did I think the drive for both helped or hindered the quest for a life that is both happier for the people and happier for the planet? It's not that there is conceptual answer to this, but most of us, when we're quiet, have a sense of whether the next step takes us towards that purpose or away from it. And most of us, too, can be tempted away from our True Direction (whatever it is).
Emotions are a matter perspective. Rich people can be miserable, poor people can be happy, single people can be fulfilled, and married couples can be lonely. The most prepared amongst us can feel nervous, and the least prepared can feel confident.

Last picture of the RMS Titanic as she sailed out of harbour on April 10, 1912 Everyone knows the story. The RMS Titanic was the biggest and most opulent ocean liner ever built. It was deemed to be an unsinkable, floating pleasure palace that attracted the attention of the media, the public and the wealthy, who paid more than $4,000 (equal now to $95,000) to enjoy the luxuries of the first class cabin. On her maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York City, she sank several hours after hitting an iceberg about 600 kilometres off the coast of Newfoundland. Though the Titanic boasted every convenience and amenity — including gymnasiums, a Turkish bath, swimming pools and an astounding amount of silverware — there were only enough lifeboats aboard to save about one-third of the passengers.

Walking The Inca Trail: A Four Day Trek To Machu Picchu
The four-day version of the Inca Trail is the most famous trek in South America. The hike is located in Peru, with a popular starting point at stop km 82 of the railroad from Cusco and hiking from there around 45 kms to Machu Picchu. The route follows to some extent an old Inca roadway, which is partially paved with stones, and offers ever-changing sceneries of amazing mounting ranges, thriving cloud forest, and mysterious Inca archaeological sites. In addition, hiking the Inca Trail rewards trekkers with the bonus of looking in the sunrise of the four-day at an unforgettable view of the city of Machu Picchu, a UNESCO world heritage site.

One of the best parts of living in a new city, aside from making new friends – of course, is the endless possibilities for delicious culinary experiences. My new friend, Soledad, and I decided to go for a nice meal out in Berlin, (that did not consist of The Bird Burgers, or any other Vietnamese, Turkish, or Italian options that overly populate the city.) After a bit of research, and largely due to convenience for us both, I chose former kebab shop turned fine French dining at Bandol sur Mer .

The road from Chiang Mai to Pai, Thailand has 762 bends, or so the t-shirts say. I didn’t even begin counting them. We’ve lived in Thailand on and off for 10 months over the last three years but we had always skipped Pai, the peaceful, mountain town famous for hippies and having not much to do. It’s just three hours north, up over the mountains in a series of switch backs and steep climbs, a fun, challenging route for a motorbike, so we finally decided to make the trek.

The Lost Girls - Lost Girls World
With their 28th birthdays looming, three friends quickly rocketing towards management positions, mortgages, and marriages, all share a similar fear: Is this what they want, or what they think they should want? Feeling in serious need of perspective, they decide to leave it all behind, quit their jobs, and begin an epic search for meaning and enlightenment. Traveling 60,000 miles around the world, from the mountains and jungles of South America to the beaches of Australia, passing through Kenya, India, Southeast Asia, and New Zealand along the way, the trio will not only find themselves, but a lifelong friendship.In spite of the disappointing weather, we rather enjoyed our in town getaway at the Holiday Inn near the Space Needle. We ate chowder, watched the Looney Tunes marathon on Nickelodeon, wandered around the empty Pike Place Market, and in general, just enjoyed being some place else — sort of. You can do this too, because the Holiday Inn wants to give you one night at one of their “refreshed” properties anywhere in the US. Leave me a comment with the state and city where you’d like to stay — check out the Holiday Inn site for locations.… continued…
