WELCOME
Nomadism is a state of mind. A view of the world where foreign is not feared. Boundaries are there to be crossed. Strangers are friends waiting to be made. Life has no borders.
Humanity is increasingly interconnected. News travels faster than earthquakes and we interact with foreign products and ideas on a daily basis. 200 million people live in a country other than their birthplace while, at any given moment, 300,000 of us are up in the air on planes to a new destination.
As the world keeps getting smaller, our understanding of it grows. But there are still countless wonders waiting to be discovered and adventures to be lived just a ticket away.
NOMADIC is a magazine for compulsive travellers, inquisitive minds, and lovers of the unknown. It is a home for those who live to roam, identifying more with the stamps inside their passport than with what is on the cover. We are governed by wanderlust and our curiosity knows no borders.
In this first issue we have travelled around the world to bring you unexpected stories from Australia to Alaska. We have discovered chicken smuggling in China, global fashion trends, and alternative ways to travel. We will venture into the world of English cuisine, wander the streets of Thessaloniki and take a walk on the Masai Mara.
Travelling is all about people and NOMADIC is too. We want you to be part of our family of long distance friends and introduce you to others: a man who lives without a nationality, a brave Syrian woman facing extraordinary challenges and a graduate who took a break from normality to cycle around the world.
They say a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. This is it. Take it.
