Big news! I am releasing a new book! It’s a massively updated version of my NYT bestselling travel guide, How to Travel the World on $50 a Day.
Except this new edition is called How to Travel the World on $75 a Day.
Why the new edition? Well, because of inflation…and the changed way we travel post-COVID.
The last edition of my book came out in 2017 and, since then, a lot has changed. COVID forever changed the travel industry. A lot of companies/hotels/hostels closed during the pandemic while old methods of saving money became obsolete and new methods came into being.
Destinations around the world have changed too. For example, when I wrote the book’s last edition, there was barely any train travel in Southeast Asia. Now Laos has a train line connecting all its major cities, Cambodia is reviving its train system, and Thailand is expanding theirs.
And, since 2017, prices have gone up a lot. Not only because of natural inflation but because of the post-COVID inflation boom. It’s not as cheap to travel as it was back in 2017!
Since travel has changed so much, I wanted my book to reflect the current conditions we travelers face when it comes to planning a trip, saving money, and navigating regions around the world. How to be a smart budget traveler is different than it was in 2017 and I want to arm you with all the tools needed to be one.
In fact, so much is different, that I ended up writing over 80% of this book! In my mind, it’s not a simple “update” — it’s essentially a new book! (So, if you bought this before, you can buy this new edition without worrying that it’s a lot of the same material!)
In this new version, you’ll find:
- A new section on collecting and redeeming points and miles.
- A completely updated resource section filled with companies and accommodations I love.
- More information on overtourism and how to be a responsible traveler.
- Completely revised and updated and expanded destination sections that include new prices, ways to save, and tips on where to eat, accommodation, transportation, and activities.
- New trips and tricks on how to save money before you go.
- New ways to save money on accommodation, including ways to get free accommodation.
- New ways to save money on transportation (with new information on transportation passes).
And that’s just on top of the normal price and information updates that you would expect from new update! This book really puts everything you need to know about saving money and…
