The Traveling Dan # 4: Exploring the Seven Continents in Style with Matt Long

August 12, 2014 By: Daniel Parlegreco

Matt Long Interview

On this episode of podcast we interviewed Matt Long from Land Lopers. Matt is an adventurer travel who has been featured in many of the top travel publications in the world including: BBC Travel, Lonely Planet, and The Travel Channel.

Matt certainly knows a thing or two about travel, especially luxury travel. Matt lets us in on his style of travel, and how anyone can enjoy luxury travel for a fracture of the cost.

He certainly has some great insights on traveling, and shows us how anyone can enjoy themselves even when on a budget.

On this episode you will hear:

  • Why Matt prefers to splurge on nice accommodations rather then food or other travel expenses
  • Why Matt continues to go to South Africa over and over again
  • How Matt got over his fear and went on the highest bungee swing in the world on top of a soccer stadium!
  • How he went great white shark diving in South Africa
  • Why New Zealand is an adventure travelers dream
  • Why Croatia needs to be on the map for more travelers
  • Why Athens is a waste of time for any traveler
  •  And why he feels Florence is an overrated city
