Best known on Internet as Nomadic Matt, this blogger had his first trip abroad at 23 years old.
He has been backpacking full time since 2006! His initial plan when he quit his job was to travel for a year, but 80 countries later, he has a blogging school, owns a hostel in Texas and started a non-profit foundation. BBC called it “the Bible for Budget Travellers” and his book would get you over the Valentine fever people around you seem to have.
