Nomadic Matt’s Travel Tuesday

{NAME}, Greetings from NYC! I'm finally moved into my apartment. Well, mostly. I'm 95% there. There are still a few things left to get and art to hang on the walls but I feel mostly settled. Now, I'm just trying to get a good routine going. As I mentioned a few weeks ago, my goal is to set aside one day a week to sightsee and explore the city. Last week, I went to a new tea place and visited the Morgan Library, the famed library of JP Morgan. (Tip: It's free on Tuesdays and Fridays after 5pm!) Today, I'm heading out on a food tour with [Devour]( and, this weekend, I have friends in town so I'll be using that as my excuse to sightsee a lot. But I can't believe how fast this month has gone by. I only have two more weeks until I'm off to Japan...but more on that trip next week! Finally, just as a reminder, last week, [we announced the official change of TNN into a tour company!]()​ Our tours are described as being led around by a friend and I think that's a very accurate description. These tours are a product of my 15 years working in the travel industry and take you to some of my favorite places, introduce you to my favorite experiences, and connect you with my favorite local guides and experts! If you are looking for something different, come take one of our tours. This fall, we have tours to [Tanzania](, [Cuba](), [Oaxaca](=), [Mexico City](, [Romania](), [Costa Rica](), the [Yucatan Peninsula](), [Jordan](=), and [Italy]( (just 2 spots left!). ​ LATEST COMMUNITY UPDATES​​ ​​1.

It is the symbol of his liberty-his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure." - Aldous Huxley *** As always, if you have any questions, reply to this email. I'll be happy to help. ​ Sincerely, ​ Nomadic Matt P.S. - Booking a trip soon?
