Hi, I am
Matt, the author of The
Hitchhiker Man, a world traveller and the creator of this
blog. If you have dreams of travelling the world, but haven't left yet, I hope that this blog
will help
you find some of the beautiful destinations this world has to offer. As
well I will be
posting travel tips, advice and great places to go.
My life of travelling began over ten years ago when I was 23. I had just graduated from
university when one of my friend's asked if I wanted to hitchhike across Canada with
him. With no experience travelling and almost no money to our names we headed west
towards the mountains of British Colombia. Almost as soon as I had left I knew my life
had changed forever.
That
winter I lived in the mountains of Whistler where I spent my days skiing soft
powder in
a place so beautiful I wouldn't have believed it existed if I hadn't gone there myself. From
that winter onwards I decided to only live where I wanted to go on vacation. I took up a life
as a surfer and a writer in Australia and have been travelling and writing ever since.
I hope
that some of my tips and advice from my experience travelling can help you
along
your journey as a traveller.
Thanks for
reading.
