Welcome to Thinking Nomads, adventure travel blog created by Marco and Felicity.
Since 2006, we’ve been exploring the world in search of authentic experiences, off-the-beaten-path destinations, and journeys that connect us more deeply with people, nature, and cultures.
Here you’ll find:
- 🌍 inspiring destinations across Europe and beyond
- 👨👩👧 family travel experiences and slow travel with kids
- 🥾 hiking, trekking and outdoor adventures
- ✈️ itineraries and ideas for independent and mindful travelers
Our goal is to help you travel better — more consciously, more curiously, and far beyond the usual tourist routes.
