It is a madhouse here in New York City today. Yankee fans have officially invaded lower Manhattan and our Internet seems to be getting worse by the hour. But we will power through no matter what!
Despite a shaky Friday morning, this week has been great for us. From possible tweetups, postcard contests, blog write ups, and photography battles, Sosauce has been in the midst of some big fun. But hey – enough of us, let us get right to our picks for This Week in Travel. Drop us a comment below with your favorite reads this week!

Nomadic Matt | Why Americans STILL Aren’t Traveling Overseas
I personally am not shocked to read how sheltered our country is, especially when it comes to being culturally aware. Nomadic Matt tackles the apprehensions most Americans face when it comes to the idea of travel. Fear, time, money, and geography all play an important role in our minds that delay our plans to see the world, but are they really all that important? Find out what Matt thinks. Do you agree?
Enjoy the weekend everyone! For you New York City travel mates, try not to get trampled by Yankee fans today!
