Matt Fox was born to a middle class family in 1983 near Toronto. He studied Economics at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario. After graduating in 2007 he risked it all to go hitchhiking across Canada. During his journey he learned that there is more to life than what first meets the eye. On the road he is forced to reconsider how his spontaneous decisions affect his life. In his first book The Hitchhiker Man he shares his thoughts, emotions and what he learned with each experience he went through.
