Nomadic Matt's Travel Tuesday

{NAME}, Happy Tuesday! I’m currently on my way to Spain for a conference and then off to the Christmas markets in France! I’m super excited as I’ve never been to a Christmas market before. I was originally supposed to go last year but, ya know, COVID (I'm really hoping France doesn’t go into lockdown either because, otherwise, I’ll be heading home a lot sooner than planned). I’ll be in the Alsace region of France so, if you have any tips, drop me a line! I'm there for a week. Today is just a short email. Like we do every year, [we’re having a Black Friday sale]( (Yes, I know it’s not Black Friday yet but our emails go out on Tuesday so we’re doing it early.) From right now until Tuesday, December 1st at 11:59 pm EST, all our guidebooks, memberships, and blogging courses are up to 50% off. Our guides will help you travel better, cheaper, and smarter; our NM+ membership will give you exclusive discounts, deals, content, and prizes; and our blogging and writing courses will help you improve your online business and write better. (And, if these are your jam, you can also give these products as a gift to that special someone in your life.) [Come check out the sale, learn more about everything, and save some money!]( UPCOMING FREE EVENTS We have a lot of awesome virtual events coming up in the next few weeks!
