Ten Years a Nomad: A Travelers Journey Home Reviews

    I’ve been a follower of Nomadic Matt for many years. Not bought his first book because I’m not a backpacker. However I like his style so will rethink that.This book is well written and an easy read. I had expected a lot travel stories but the book deals mostly with his decisions for traveling, how he felt at various times during his ten years away from the US and essentially how he developed as a person during that time. It was surprisingly personal, and interesting for that reason. Recommended.

    I am looking to do some travelling to Colombia this year. I’ve been doing reading and watching a lot of YouTube videos. I wanted to learn from someone who has done a lot of travelling and came across Matt’s blog. I enjoyed this book because it really spoke to the mixture of feelings and thoughts that I currently am going through at the moment.

    I liked Matt's personal reflections and comments on travel and how it's affected him. Warning: if you love to travel and have a travel addiction (like me) this book may reignite the desire to get out into the world and keep going! I've recognized the 'burnout' phase that Matt talks about in two of my personal trips, and yet his book still stirred a desire within me to hit the road again, even being aware of the burnout. Read it if you are a travel addict or you want an inside scoop look into the mind of a compulsive wanderer :)

    Matt is a legend in the world of travel and I've followed his story for years. Only halfway through this book but it's damn awesome!! Such a great and in depth look at his life as nomadic Matt. I'll probably finish it by tonight. Matt, you're an inspiration!

    As someone with nomadic tendencies, I enjoyed Matt's book. Although it appears to be aimed at younger adults and I am now retired, I could relate to his pull toward a nomadic life. It was interesting to read about the experiences and perspectives of someone who followed that pull for an extended period of time. Matt's book is helpful to young and old who are considering a nomadic lifestyle.
