I’m releasing a New Book!

Big news! I’m releasing a new book! A more advanced version of my NYT bestselling travel guide, How to Travel the World on $50 a Day.

Besides this new system is called How to Travel the World on $75 a Day.

Why is there a new version? However, due to inflation…and the changed way we travel after COVID.

The last edition of my book came out in 2017 and, since then, a lot it has changed. COVID has forever changed the travel industry. Many companies/hotels/hostels were closed during the violence while old ways of saving money became outdated and new ways emerged.

Destinations around the world have also changed. For example, when I wrote the last draft of the book, there was no train travel in Southeast Asia. Laos now has a railway connecting all its major cities, Cambodia is upgrading its railway system, and Thailand is expanding theirs.

Also, since 2017, the prices have increased significantly. Not just because of natural inflation but because of post-COVID inflation. It’s not as cheap to travel as it was in 2017!

Since travel has changed so much, I wanted my book to reflect the current conditions that travelers face when it comes to planning trips, saving money, and navigating destinations around the world. The way to be a smart budget traveler is different than it was in 2017 and I want to equip you with all the tools needed to become one.

In fact, there are so many exceptions, that I ended up writing over 80% of this book! In my mind, it’s not a simple “review” — it’s actually a new book! (So, if you’ve bought this before, you can buy this new version without worrying about it being too much of the same content!)

In this new version, you will find:

• A new section for collecting and redeeming points and miles.
• A completely updated resource section full of my favorite companies and accommodations.
• More information about overtourism and how to be a responsible traveller.
• Completely revised sections have been updated and expanded to include new prices, ways to save, and tips on where to eat, lodging, transportation, and activities.
• Travel tips and tricks on how to save money before you go.
• New ways to save money on accommodation, including ways to find free accommodation.
• New ways to save money on transportation (with new information on transit passes).

And that’s on top of the usual price and information updates you can expect from a new update! This book really puts everything you need to know about saving money and getting away from tourism in one place.

This book is not just for long-term visitors. It’s for anyone who wants to save money, get off the beaten path, and travel smart — no matter how long your trip. Because how you save money on flights or where to get gear or how to save money in London doesn’t change depending on how long your trip is!

The book will be released on March 25, 2025 and is currently available for pre-order at the following locations:
