Nomad Life — July Community Calendar

📅 Meetups, Chat, Connections, Q&As

This past week has been all about Bansko Nomad Fest, the largest global meetup of nomads. Nearly 800 of us have descended on the small mountain town in Bulgaria. It’s 10 days of full-on learning and fun.

The main reason I keep coming back? The opportunity to make real-life connections with like-minded folks from around the world. I’m fully enjoying the coffee chats, deep conversations, and group hugs.

This is the same vibe we’re creating here with our Nomad Life community: A warm, open space to learn about the world and from one another.

I hope you join us for an online event this month. Or pop into the community chat. We want to get to know you!

😀 IRL Connections

So many of us are talking about the importance of making connections as we roam. If you’re landing in a new place and looking for introductions to local folks or other nomads, feel free to reach out here to make a connection.

Note: IRL meetups can be great, but be sure to meet in a public place and use caution and common sense. Your safety is important.
