It’ s a small world – and getting smaller!
Nomads are a friendly bunch. We love meeting new people – whether it is the girl you shared a hostel room with, the kind soul who gave you a ride down the highway or even your friendly tour guide – the kind of connections you form while on the road are amazing. Here are some world travellers who met on their adventures and stayed in touch.
