# **I’m Embarking on a Book Tour! Join Me to Discover How to Explore the Globe on $75 a Day**
Fantastic news, fellow adventurers! My upcoming book, *[How to Travel the World on $75 a Day](https://www.nomadicmatt.com/how-to-travel-the-world/)*, will be released on **March 25th**, and to mark the occasion, I’m hitting the road for a **book tour**! It’s been six years since my last tour, and I’m excited to connect with all of you, discuss the present travel landscape, and provide my top tips for navigating the world affordably.
## **Why a Revised Edition?**
The previous edition of my book appeared in **2017**, and as you might expect, there have been substantial shifts in that time. The **COVID-19 pandemic** dramatically altered the travel sector, leading numerous businesses—hotels, hostels, and tour operators—to cease operations. Traditional money-saving methods have become outdated, while new strategies have taken their place.
Moreover, **travel expenses have surged** due to inflation, making it crucial to understand how to **travel more wisely and cut costs**. This revised edition incorporates the newest travel tendencies, cost-saving strategies, and insider knowledge to assist you in planning budget-friendly escapades—whether you’re a long-term traveler or simply aiming to save on your next getaway.
## **Come See Me on Tour!**
I’ll be stopping by various cities across the U.S. to discuss the book, offer travel insights, and, most importantly, **meet all of you face-to-face**! Here’s where you can catch me:
