Hi! My name is Matthew Baloglow and this is my travel blog, TravelledMatt. I have created TravelledMatt as a way to share my passions and hobbies with the world.  It is through my travel blog that I have been able to achieve a lifestyle which I thought was almost impossible.

Through my travel blog, I have been able to put my attention into things which have all helped me be able to support a lifestyle that is a composition of my deepest desires and greatest passions.  From running my blog, to Affiliate Marketing, to being an Internet Marketer, I have been able to achieve a sense of freedom that I never would be possible in so little time.  

Since the age of 20 I have lead a life heavily affected by the travel bug (not sure what the travel bug is? Read my blog – Is the travel bug curable?)
Besides returning back to my beloved Australia, earning money and saving for my next trip, my life since then has consisted of me travelling through 42 countries, learning a second language and almost learning how to dance salsa.  I am now 27 and I don’t intend on stopping just yet.  I believe that this lifestyle is achievable for everyone and the adventure to be had is unparalleled to anything I’ve ever experienced.

About these travels …

From participating in Thai cooking classes whilst travelling through South East Asia, I’ve also backpacked a couple of times through Europe.  Last year I was living in South America which is were I learnt to speak Spanish and almost learnt to dance salsa … and all with my trusty guitar by my side.

My large passions when I’m travelling involve me wanting to immerse myself in the culture and thus experience as much of the ‘true’ country that I can.  I have never travelled with my backpack on a trip where I had organised my accommodation with more than a weeks notice.  Nor have I travelled through a country without learning a couple of words to show signs of cultural respect. (I’m definitely no multi-linguist but just even learning to say thank you and please in another language can get you very far).  I have also never finished a trip feeling as though I hadn’t changed or developed in some way.

Travelling has been such a big part of my life and I intend to keep it that way.  I’ve come to realise that the more I deny this truth, the more I feel dissatisfied with what I’m doing.  

My travel blog, has now giving me the means to be able to live out a lifestyle that is very possible for many, but often thought as ‘impossible’ by most.  Through using my travel blog, I hope to also educate  and inspire those that wish to change their lifestyle and create one that is of how they desire.  If you passions lie within wanting to make a living from your computer, then I highly recommend you check out my section on Blogging As A Business.  I’m always updating this section with new information to help those wanting to change their lifestyle around.

I dream to be an example that through dedication and boundless following of your passions that you can achieve whatever you desire in this world.
