Think travel is too expensive in today's economy? Think again.

I'm joined by Matthew Kepnes, a.k.a. Nomadic Matt, to explore whether budget travel is still possible in 2025 and beyond.

Read blog post: https://thoughtcard.com/travel-tips-matthew-kepnes/ 

We get into: 

  • Money-saving tips that still work
  • Travel hacks that no longer do
  • Surprising destinations where your dollar stretches way farther than you'd expect

Back in 2005, one trip to Thailand changed Matt's life forever. He quit his job, set off to backpack the world for a year... and never stopped.

Since then, he's spent the last two decades helping millions of travelers explore the world smarter, cheaper, and longer through his blog, books, and courses.

🎧 Tune in to hear what's really possible when it comes to affordable travel today — and how you can make your travel dreams a reality, even on a budget.
