Kepnes was born in Boston.[4] At 23, he had never left the United States[4] but in 2005 he took a trip to Thailand.[5][6] The trip convinced Kepnes to quit his job, finish his MBA, and begin traveling the world and blogging about his experiences.[7][8][9]

Kepnes' first book, How to Travel the World on $50 a Day: Travel Cheaper, Longer, Smarter, was published in 2013 by Penguin.[10] He used an initial coin offering to crowdfund his eBook Nomadic Matt's Guide to Backpacking Europe in 2018.[11] In July 2019, Kepnes published his memoir, Ten Years a Nomad: A Traveler's Journey Home.[12]

Kepnes has traveled to more than 70 countries in his 7 years of traveling.[1]
