Part memoir and part philosophical look at why we travel, filled with stories of Matt Kepnes' adventures abroad, an exploration of wanderlust and what it truly means to be a nomad. "Matt is possibly the most well-traveled person I know...His knowledge and passion for understanding the world is unrivaled, and never fails to amaze me." —Mark Manson, New York Times bestselling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck Ten Years a Nomad is New York Times bestselling author Matt Kepnes’ poignant exploration of wanderlust and what it truly means to be a nomad. Part travel memoir and part philosophical look at why we travel, it is filled with aspirational stories of Kepnes' many adventures. New York Times bestselling author of How to Travel the World on $50 a Day, Matthew Kepnes knows what it feels like to get the travel bug. After meeting some travelers on a trip to Thailand in 2005, he realized that living life meant more than simply meeting society's traditional milestones, such as buying a car, paying a mortgage, and moving up the career ladder. Inspired by them, he set off for a year-long trip around the world before he started his career. He finally came home after ten years. Over 500,000 miles, 1,000 hostels, and 90 different countries later, Matt has compiled his favorite stories, experiences, and insights into this travel manifesto. Filled with the color and perspective that only hindsight and self-reflection can offer, these stories get to the real questions at the heart of wanderlust. Travel questions that transcend the basic "how-to," and plumb the depths of what drives us to travel — and what extended travel around the world can teach us about life, ourselves, and our place in the world. Ten Years a Nomad is for travel junkies, the travel-curious, and anyone interested in what you can learn about the world when you don’t have a cable bill for a decade or spend a month not wearing shoes living on the beach in Thailand.

Ever since I can remember I have had an insatiable desire to travel. I have always wanted to see the world, experience new things, and have a pretty good time while doing it. Unfortunately, there was a rather large barrier to my dreams of travel. Namely the fact that travel is incredibly expensive. Which is when I started to explore my options and stumbled upon the concept of teaching English abroad. After looking into it further, I realized that it was exactly what I was looking for. An opportunity to travel, immerse myself in an entirely different culture, and make money while doing it. It truly sounded too good to be true. But I quickly found out it wasn't. Since that time I have worked teaching English abroad in over a dozen different countries. I have had the pleasure of seeing some incredibly beautiful places and meeting some truly amazing people. The work is rewarding, and the lifestyle is perfect. But the process required to get to this point took quite a bit of trial and error, in which it certainly wasn't as easy as it could be. Which is actually what prompted me to write this book. By learning from my experiences, you can find out everything you need to know to teach English overseas. In the following book you will find: What you need to do to become an English teacher abroad What qualifications provide you with the best job opportunities Where the best places to start your teaching career are And how to make sure you get the chance to work and travel overseas While I can give you the required information on HOW you can become an English teacher abroad, you are the one who truly needs to make this change.
