New Nomads

Back in 2013 a new kind of traveler was emerging. They left their safe and settled lifestyles, to travel the world – indefinitely. And I was a part of this new nomadic travel. However quite frankly even in 2013 it didn’t feel too ‘new’ to me – I had been living like this moving around […]
