We’ve just wrapped up four episodes from my time in Iceland – a country that’s as jaw-droppingly beautiful as it is expensive.
But is there a way to travel this pricey paradise on a budget? That’s the question I’ll be tackling today with someone who knows a thing or two about affordable travel.
I’d already heard the rumour, so in Reykjavik I set out to find out just how expensive it is and we start the episode back in Reykjavik where I walked into a supermarket to check the prices of random things.
Nomadic Matt Shares Budget Tips
And then, I’m thrilled to welcome Matt Kepnes, aka Nomadic Matt, back to the podcast. He’s one of the most well-known names in travel. He’s the New York Times bestselling author of How to Travel the World on $50 a Day and the creator of the massively popular blog, NomadicMatt.com. Over the years, he’s inspired millions to see the world without breaking the bank.
And now, he’s back with a completely revamped version of his iconic guidebook. Now called How to Travel the World on $75 a Day. It’s not just an update – it’s almost an entirely new book, reflecting how travel has changed since the pandemic, with fresh tips, destination advice, and even new ways to save.
Order the book here.
