Fourth Edition Is Here

The fourth edition of Nomad Magazine is here — and after two years of growing, it’s the one I’m most proud of.

In our first three editions we spent a lot of time on the human side of this lifestyle: mindfulness, relationships, loneliness, and the communities that make remote life feel less “remote.” This time, in our fourth edition, we decided to try something new. We went deeper into one of the questions I hear the most: “Which nomad destinations are growing right now?”

In this edition we explore places that are gaining real momentum—including Fukuoka, Japan; Bansko, Bulgaria; Madeira, Portugal; and a fresh one for us all: Palermo, Italy. We focused on the kind of insights you only get by being there and talking to people on the ground. We traveled to each destination, interviewed locals, founders, community builders, and nomads, and brought you behind-the-scenes perspectives.

As always, we publish a mix of topics. This issue includes raising kids on the move, queer nomad viewpoints, travel fashion tips, and a beautiful van-life photo story. One of my personal favorites explains online education possibilities for creative careers—not only through private online courses, but also through a British university offering courses online. We also have a special guest: Traveling with Kristin (Kristin Wilson), one of the most well-known digital nomad and travel YouTubers, sharing her perspective after more than thirteen years on the road. For the cover, to feature the spirit of Palermo, we invited the talented illustrators Claudia Brüggen and Molly Maine. We added the Nomad Directory and coworking space features so you can discover projects and brands that make digital nomad life simpler. And we simplified the design—still us, but more inviting to read. Thank you for being here.
