After a morning spent sharing a laugh with Libby Trickett, chatting life expectations and amazing travel finds with the ever inspirational Courtney Goes, and considering life threatening diseases with a recently diagnosed close friend of mine, I've decided that my theme for the week is to not take life too seriously.

MATT ON TRAVEL and LIVING ABROAD: So with this weeks theme of not taking life too seriously I'm gonna spend a day or two chilling out at a southern QLD beachside resort (FOR THE COST OF A BOX OF CHOCOLATES). Its simple you've just got to be flexible with both your time and location choices...I'll share more about this in the coming months. Courtney shared an awesome travel find with me (they do exist) which really got me thinking about the gems that are out there and how to find them. Courtney had just booked a room in NEW YORK right across from TIME SQUARE for $240/week including gym access, a single bedroom, and 2 pools. I'm going to be keeping my eye open for more amazing deals over the next few months and will keep you posted. For now make sure you sign up to Travel ZOO's top 20 deals. They'll email you the 20 best travel and accommodation deals on the net each week and while most deals are quite standard the best ones are really impressive like the $1 mystery weekend getaways that include flights and accommodation (and you'll save hours of net trawling). Make sure you don't take life too seriously.
keep posted Matt
