MATT: AT HOME IN THE WORLD

Hello All,

I’ve just returned from a six-week long road trip that took me from Massachusetts to Virginia to Florida to Tennessee, out to Utah, up to Yellowstone and back east again! I basked in the ocean in 85-degree weather and braved hail and treacherously snowy mountain passes; I saw alligators up-close and got some wonderful photos of bears, bison, and wolves! I ate everything from rock crab and key lime pie to elk and bison burgers and of course sampled a lot of my favorite thing: pancakes! And I amassed a huge collection of new photos. I just arrived home this week, so will start sharing my experiences in some new blogs very soon, so please stay tuned.

Meanwhile, I’m still trying to promote my book and I do have more author’s nights/book signings scheduled for the summer at local libraries. To those of you who purchased the book, I’m truly grateful and really hope you enjoyed it. It is still available for purchase as a paperback or e-book on Amazon.

If you did purchase the book and found it entertaining, I’d like to ask that you please take a few minutes to go back to Amazon and leave a review. Although all of the reviews so far have been very positive, there aren’t very many and supposedly, the more reviews the book gets, the more visible it becomes to potential buyers. So thanks in advance to anyone who has left or will leave a review for me!

I hope this finds you all well and looking forward to some wonderful travel adventures this summer!

So long for now,

Matt

As of today, my book At Home in the World: Reflections of a Travel Addict is available on Amazon as either a paperback or a Kindle/e-book. This is a project I’ve thought about for years, and that it finally came to fruition is really pretty surreal. If you’ve enjoyed reading my blogs here, I think you’ll find the book to your liking. I put a lot of myself into it and I am really pleased with the results and hope you will be too!

I’ve prepared a little trailer to hopefully pique your interest in the book.

Let’s Go!

Hello everyone! My book is finally completed and should be available on Amazon within the next week or so. But the “reviews” are already coming in from around the world:

“Maybe if his book does well, he will return and finally buy a carpet!” – a Turkish rug salesman.

“He may be a good writer, but he made the most pathetic mochi balls that we have ever seen at our festival!” – a resident of Shimabara, Japan.

“I remember him as the dinner that got away…”  – an Australian salt-water crocodile.

“This book could be bigger than Ben Hur!”  – an anonymous New Zealand grad student.

“He tried to add cheese to his spaghetti with clams! We were horrified!” – an Italian restauranteur.

“He still owes me $25 for the beautiful photos I took of him when he rode my camel!” – an Egyptian vendor.

See what all the buzz is about… the paperback and an ebook version will be available soon. Stay tuned for further updates! – Matt

I just wanted to take a quick moment to say Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all my loyal readers and followers. I’ve been saying that I feel as if someone removed about 10 days of December from the calendar, as I blinked and here we are at the end of the month already. I felt like I barely had time to get into the spirit of the season, despite the fact that this has always been my favorite time of year.
