One of the most useful travel books I have read. Contains countless practical tips for budget travelers as well as those with a little more to spend.

On his travel guide sections- I find that I travel in the same way and use the same methods as Matt. Similar splurges, similar evaluations of where to spend and where not to. And I like that Matt leaves things open and doesn’t recommend which specific places to stay and eat, just provides descriptions of what the levels of accommodations and travel are like as well as gives examples of local food and attraction prices.

But most important to me is that this book and his blog, inspire me and give me courage to travel more outside my comfort zone. You just have to realize that no one wants to hurt you (99.5% of the world), people weaker/less skilled than you are travelling every day, and if things just don’t work out you come home. I find myself increIDgly motivated to travel and live around the world and have made actual steps towards these goals because of this book. Can’t recommend highly enough to travelers, those about to travel, or those who are scared of it.

This book starts with the basics of saving, budgeting, and planning. Some may find the bits on how to budget your current spending a bit too basic. I found them to be the "start with the fundamentals, practice the fundamentals" type of foundation advice. The chapter on banking overseas is excellent and provides great advice for someone banking at home. (Did you choose your bank or just fall into it?) His coverage of buying tickets and the important but often overlooked travel insurance is full enough to ensure the traveler doesn’t waste cash on these essential items.

Part 2 on money saving tips provides the checklists you ignore at the peril of your spending rate.

Part 3 covers specific destination with terse, what you need to know without unnecessary detail, coverage. Exclusion of the Middle East and Africa prevent the book from being comprehensive. For the rest of the world, food, accommodation, travel, attractions and activities are covered. Each section ends with "How much money do you need?" and for more expensive countries (eg, Australia) he is clear that $50 a day is not realistic.

The main text concludes with putting it all together. Author Matt reminds you that the $50 a day is based on his his costs and experiences when actually travelling around the world. He then presents a sample budget for a one year round the world excursion.

Some of the negative reviews have been dismissive about some of the tips. Matt understands that what is common sense simple for one reader is a needed reminder for another. As you go through the book its comprehensive, high level coverage of how to travel on a sensible budget will enable you to go where you want without cost being the barrier to departure.

I have to say that Matt has really outdone himself with this one. Talk about traveling on a budget – this guy writes out specifically how to do it. There’s no way that after reading this book, you won’t save money on your next trip!

He takes an out-of-the-box approach to traveling. He gets you out of your hotel-taxi-vacation-comfort-zone and into a spend-like-a-local-savings-mindset. He takes the overrated-glitz out of vacationing and leaves you with insight on how to connect to simple culture experiences that make your trip overseas memorable. Best of all, he teaches you how to make your money stretch so you can travel longer!

As a seasoned solo traveler who prides herself on getting around on a very, very tight budget, Matt’s advice has definitely knocked me off my feet. He’s introduced me to things like tourist attraction cards, travel credit cards, Skyscanner, Meetup, Vayable, Airbnb, house sitting, and has even had me considering using Campinmygarden.com! Matt’s book is an inspiration to those who think that traveling is just for the rich. His writing style is easy to read and his tips are easy to follow.

I highly recommend this book to anyone hoping that you will have enough money to take your dream trip. With Matt’s advice – that dream trip is much, much closer than you think! Matt does the research, so you don’t have to! Thanks Matt!
