Nomadic Matt's Travel Tuesday

{NAME}, ​ Greetings from NYC! Fall is in full swing and I'm loving every second of it. The crisp morning air, the falling leaves, the abundant apples, and the Halloween decorations popping up all over the city. I love this time of year so much. ​ This weekend, I'm heading up to the Catskills with a group of friends to leaf peep and hike. I've never been to the area where we are going so I'm pretty stoked! ​ But it's going to be one of the last trips I take this year. ​ This past week, I made the decision to cut down my travels for the rest of the year. I had planned on taking a multi-week trip next month but I decided that staying put in NYC, working out more, fixing my health ([damn TB!](), and doing more things in the city were more important right now. I may end up on a small trip around Thanksgiving but I think it's time to be a little less nomadic (for now, at least). ​ With less travel in the future, I am going to be shifting this newsletter a little bit. I'll be making some format changes to it in the coming weeks and I would love for you to reply to this email and let me know what you would like to see included here. More news stories? More community updates? Travel deals? Something else? ​ I'm open to any and all feedback so let me know what you think! ​ (Note: Due to the volume of emails I get, I may not reply to everyone but I will read your response!) ​ ​ COMMUNITY UPDATES 1.
