Nomadic Matt's Travel Tuesday

{NAME}, It's been over a month since I've been back from Mexico and, just when I think the coming week will allow for more free time, my calendar gets full with work obligations.  But there is light at the end of the tunnel. And travel. Next month, I'll be driving to Memphis for TravelCon. [TravelCon]( is our three-day creator conference. After the event, I plan to take a vacation and have decided to do one of my favorite late spring activities: take a road trip. I'm going to drive to Nashville, then Franklin, through Alabama (a state I haven't seen much off), before going to Pensacola (ever since the movie Contact, I've wanted to go), and then driving back to Austin via New Orleans, Lafayette, and Houston. After that, I'll relax in Austin, finalize my living situation, celebrate turning 41, and then head to Europe. As you know we announced group tours a few weeks back and, after getting some feedback, we're changing up some dates and adding new destinations. I'll also be leading two of the tours in Europe and one in Oaxaca. But that's for me to tell you more about next week! UPCOMING FREE EVENTS We have a lot of events coming up!
