Best,

Matt, I am so honored to be included in this week’s picks considering the other selections are just so darn good! Thank you for the support of my little corner of the world. Your blog is one of my favorite travel blogs. You along with Spencer of The Traveling Philosopher bring another level to the game with your insightfulness, it is not just about traveling someplace but rather how that experience impacts your life, it is not trivial or superficial and I love it. You always get me thinking!
