Nomadic Matt’s Travel Tuesday

{NAME}, Greetings from Los Angeles! I'm here to film some videos for a new project, have some meetings, and connect with friends. Plus, I'm going to Disney tomorrow! Sure, it's touristy, but not all travel has to be life-changing. Sometimes ya just want to enter a make-believe world with talking animals and fun rides! After this, it's back to Austin for the next four months as I start allergy therapy. Honestly, I'm stoked. I started this year with a promise to travel less often but that hasn't been the case. It was a really busy year work-wise and I'm excited about the downtime. I'm moving into a new apartment within walking distance of my gym, co-working space, and grocery store. My goal is to get in shape, eat better, develop better sleep habits, and finally start working on my next book. And, [with us running so many tours in Mexico next year]( I also plan to get a Spanish tutor to turn my conversational Spanish into near fluency. As they say, it’s never too late to be what you want to be. UPCOMING EVENTS We have lots of virtual events coming up. Here are some happening soon: - [The Best Way to Use Credit Card Rewards for Travel]( (10/11) - [Connect with Travelers Over 60]( (10/18) - [How to Quit Your Job to Travel Full Time]( (10/20) - [How Travel Can Change Your Life in Retirement]( - [Long-Term Travel Planning: Getting Your Ducks in A Row Before You Go]( (11/1) We also have a bunch of in-person events coming up too: [San Francisco]( (10/12), [For Lauderdale]( (10/12), [Seattle]( (10/12), [Portland]( (10/13), [Cincinnati]( (10/13), and [Washington DC]( (10/16).
