Nomadic Matt's Travel Tuesday

{NAME}, Greetings from Austin! I've got a busy couple of weeks ahead — both personally and professionally. Life wise, I’m entering the next phase of my allergy shots (almost done!), have to get mole excised (always get your skin checked), and I'm starting with a new trainer. I can’t believe tomorrow is February. Wasn’t it New Year’s last week? Tempus fugit! At the end of February, I'll be leading a tour around Oaxaca, Mexico. There are still three spots left if you want to join me. It’s one of my favorite places to lead tours. We do — and learn — a lot! I was able to get the hotel to hold rooms until Friday but, after that, we have to close our doors! [So come join me in Mexico!]() Additionally, we have our Jordan tour leaving in early March. I was able to get the hotel to hold our rooms until Saturday so if you want to join us in Jordan, [click this link and save $500 off the price of the tour!](=) You’ll explore Petra, sleep in the desert, float in the Dead Sea, and eat incredible food! But the big news today is that we are finally releasing our travel journal! You may remember last year we created a journal with guided prompts for when you travel! But, due to a printing snafu, our editions were a little “jumbo” sized. Well, [our regular travel size editions are out today](=)! They come in four colors and came out beautiful! The quality is superb! I’m so excited about them. They are great. ​[Check them out here](=).
