Great website Nomadic Matt. You have a nice selection of pictures that are inspiring and beautiful. When you are in Europe, don't miss Spain and Portugal. I absolutely fell in LOVE with Spain. Especially Madrid, where there are heaps of good people, great classical artworks, and miles of avenues for fun and frolics at night. Barcelona is beautiful as well, but it's too hip for me. Just one big Euro-festival at the moment. Apparently its the "cool" place to go, so everyone has flooded in and it's hard to find anyone who is actually from there. And if you do, my experience is that they weren't too open.

And, if you liked Prague, you'll like Portugal. It has the same old world feeling and beauty and majesty to it. I went to Porto, which is the second largest city next to Lisbon. It was quiet, but awesome and interesting to walk through. Plus, they say they have the best wine there. It is the home city of "port" wine. I don't drink myself, but I am sure you'll be stoked if you do! If you are interested in Spain, I have quite a few blogs on it. I will keep up with your adventures as well.

About me

I'm fully sick with the travel bug and can't stop traversing the globe. I've been traveling consistently since 2004 and have at least another three years to go before I settle down. I recently have started writing about my travels and you can find my work here, as well as on my blog (http://www.nomadicmatt.com), and the Lonely Planet MySpace pages.

Why I travel

Because life is short and cubicles are not fun to sit in.

Travel style

I usually backpack solo and meet many friends along the way.

Ideal place to watch the sunset

New Mexico

Ideal place to watch the sunrise

anywhere you are

Before I die I'd like to

Live fully, everyday.

I felt the most immersed in a foreign culture when

Eating in an outdoor street market

Let's collaborate

I'm looking for travelers who would want to go places with me as well as other writers to share advice with.

Favorite artist(s)

Van Gogh

I want to make a difference by

reducing my environmental impact and buying local products in countries I travel to.

Tunes I rock out to

The Fray, Dave Matthews Band, Thai Pop, The Waifs, Amy Winehouse, Joss Stone

Favorite books

The Old Man and the Sea

  • Strange Things I Learned in OZ....
    04/22/2008 Australia 6

    Men there like mullets. Mullets of all types. No one else likes them but Aussie men and all classes of Aussie men. I can't figure out why but for some reason, Aussie men love the mullet, which is fine, because I like laughing at them so it is a win win situation.

  • Solo Travel
    06/19/2008 United States 1

    I get a lot of questions when I tell people I travel alone.

    “Don’t you get lonely?” “Is it safe?” “How do you meet people?”

    People are amazed that I’ve traveled so much by myself. “I couldn’t do, especially for so long.” They say. Yet I wouldn’t do it any other way. Traveling...

    05/14/2008 United States 5

    In a month from now, I'll be leaving the states again. It's amazing how fast my time here has gone. When I came home in January, June seemed so far away that I felt it would never come. Now, I can't believe how much I have to do before I leave.

    This move is a lot...

  • Touch Down in England
    04/25/2008 United Kingdom 3

    I am here in merry ole England, a big jet lagged and relieved. I almost didn't make it to my friends house. The cost of the train ticket online had jumped to 140 pounds (300 dollars). That was a little bit more than I could afford but with some last minute Skyping and...
