Hello, Nomad Community!

After much reflection, I’ve decided to officially step away from Nomad Community and close the website. While this platform has been a big part of my journey, my life has moved in a different direction, and I feel it's time to let go.

I want to thank everyone who has been part of this community—you’ve made this space so special! 💛 Though I won’t be continuing with the site, I hope you all keep chasing your dreams, exploring new places, and supporting each other.

Wishing you all the best on your adventures! 🚀🌎

Warmly,
Jolene

P.S. For anyone interested, the domain nomadcommunity.info is still available for sale for a limited time. If you'd like to take it over, feel free to DM me!

🌟 Hello, Nomad Community! 🌟

It’s been a while, and I’ve missed connecting with all of you! As you know, I stepped away for a bit to focus on family and other priorities. I hope this amazing community has continued to inspire each other in my absence. 💛

During this time, I’ve done a lot of reflection about the future of Nomad Community. While I’m still deeply passionate about the travel and nomadic lifestyle, I’ve decided to sell the website to someone who can take it to the next level.

If you’re interested or know someone who might be, here’s what’s on offer:

A fully designed and operational travel & family lifestyle website
Perfect for bloggers, digital nomads, or entrepreneurs looking for a platform to monetize.
Price: $1500 (negotiable)
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who shares the same passion for connecting and inspiring nomads around the world. If you’re curious, feel free to DM me for more details!

Thank you for your ongoing support—it means the world to me. 🌍💫

Warm regards,
Jolene

Dear Nomad Community,

I hope this message finds you all well. Over the past months, we've shared countless stories, tips, and experiences that have brought us closer together as a community of adventurers and free spirits. Your support and engagement have been the heart of this page, and I am deeply grateful for every like, comment, and share.

However, life is a journey with many paths, and sometimes, we need to take a detour to attend to other important aspects of our lives. Due to some pressing family matters and time constraints, I will be taking a hiatus from updating our page and website.

This is not a goodbye, but rather a short intermission. During this period, I encourage you all to continue sharing your incredible nomadic experiences with each other and keep the spirit of our community alive.

I look forward to returning with new stories and insights to share. Until then, keep exploring, stay curious, and cherish every moment of your nomadic adventures.

Warm regards,
Jolene
