Nomadic Matt's Travel Tuesday

= = {NAME}, ​ Greetings from London! I feel like so much has happened since I last wrote. Before London, I was in Vienna with my mom and sister. I flew my sister out to Vienna to see Taylor Swift for her 40th birthday but, as I’m sure you’ve heard, that concert got canceled. It was a big bummer. I mean, I’m glad we are all safe but it’s still sad. My sis was really looking forward to it. Hopefully, she can see another show. ​ After six weeks on the road, I’m ready to go home so I’ve switched up my plans to be in places I’ve been before so there’s no pressure to sightsee a lot. I also have the final edits for my next book due on Friday so it’s nice to be able to focus on that and not worry about seeing stuff. ​ My European adventures end next week. It’s been a good run. I saw a lot of new places, reconnected with old friends, and got lots of story ideas. This trip has been really good for my soul. ​ But it’s time for my comfy bed, regular sleep, healthy meals, the gym, and being able to catch up on all these stories I need to write! ​ Plus fall is right around the corner and that’s my favorite season! Can't wait for it! ​ ​ UPCOMING WEBINARS ​[How to Succeed as a Digital Nomad](=)- Balancing work and life is especially hard as a digital nomad.
