It's not a goodbye, but a "see you soon"....

My dear community, I've made the very hard decision to close the doors of Purposeful Nomad for now. It has been a long journey to arrive here and the decision to move on was not easy. I have spent months, years… mourning.

The past 3 years have been a disheartening domino effect for my beloved business. First and foremost, Covid knocked us off our feet and it has been an upward battle ever since. Coupled with some major life changes and shifts, I have realized I need to take a big step back for both my physical and mental health.

This doesn't mean Purposeful Nomad will be done forever, but it's time for a break to recalibrate.

And in the meantime, here is to daydreaming of the unknown and of planning and scheming many adventures to come. There's a little Purposeful Nomad in all of us.

Please continue to stay in touch 💞

Happy New Year!!! 🥂 I love the feeling that the New Year Brings. Reflect, rebirth, restart.

As the year comes to a close, thus begins the slow hibernation of Purposeful Nomad.

Purposeful Nomad was born of dreams and a vision. It's a business made of heart and soul and a strong desire to do right in the world. That vision will carry on not only in me but hopefully in all the people's lives these trips have touched.

It's not just a physical business, but a way of living.
It's a feeling, a mentality. An approach to moving about the world.

Here is to daydreaming of the unknown and of planning and scheming many adventures to come. Please continue to stay in touch~

The Future of Purposeful Nomad

Happy (almost) New Year! It was not I who thought of the name Purposeful Nomad. In fact, it was my then business partner, Jessica who had heard it from another traveler. The first time I heard those two words they struck me like a bolt of lightning. There was something SO RIGHT about "Purposeful N...

Anna, thank you for embracing the spirit of Purposeful Nomad, encouraging our vision, and being a cheerleader of Purposeful Nomad since day 1. We're beyond grateful to have you as one of our PN Alumni.

09/12/2022

Thank you, Abbie, for all the love you’ve poured into PN and our community throughout the years. We’re beyond grateful to know you, and to know your fearless pursuit of adventure and travel.

– we’ve loved having you as a PN Alumni, itinerary visionary, and trip leader.

Hi, Chelsea here! I’m a Purposeful Nomad Alumni and I wanted to share a moment with you.

I remember this day vividly, as surreal as it was. In the Dominican Republic, we set out to paddle board upstream on La Boca, a small and quiet stream that seemed otherworldly.

And alongside us was T**i: Cabarete local, self-proclaimed paddle boarding expert, groundskeeper at .retreat, and the only alarm clock we could wake up smiling to.

Every morning, his voice could be heard clearly across the hotel grounds, effortlessly paired with the sounds of the jungle and ocean.

And on this day, on the tranquil waters of La Boca, he serenaded us with the loveliest song that I’ll never forget. I hope this video captures even a small slice of the pure magic we experienced that day.

This 20-second snippet represents just one of the many unforgettable moments of our trip to the Dominican Republic. This trip alone, and the women on it, inspired me to live a life that centers around exploration, experience, and open-mindedness. The impact of this trip on my life could never be measured.

I hope that you can join Purposeful Nomad on one of their farewell trips in 2023 and experience an adventure of a lifetime.

I’ve been daydreaming....

Of places in far-off corners of the world.
Of places where I don't speak the language, where I don't know the customs, where I look different, where I don't recognize the smells.
Of long-haul flights and sweet little hotel rooms and no routines.
Of passport stamps and buying tickets.
Of border crossings and visas.

I’ve been daydreaming of the unknown.

Why? Since the recent announcement of PN closing in 2023, I’ve been reliving the memories and hearing from old friends. It has taken me back through the years and chapters of this business.

I hope the holiday week is filled with daydreaming of the unknown and planning and scheming adventures to come.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my people far and near.

I love you all and hope that you'll join us on our Farewell Departures to Morocco and India:

The news is out…. Purposeful Nomad will be taking a break and I will be stepping back to pursue other opportunities.

This very difficult decision was not made lightly and while I am filled with great sadness, I also am filled with hope and gratitude. Some of you know the last 3 years have been a rough journey that has forced me to reevaluate many aspects of my life. It has been both therapeutic and painful.

Purposeful Nomad was born of dreams and a vision. It's a business made of heart and soul and a strong desire to do right in the world. That vision will carry on not only in me, but hopefully, in all the people’s lives these trips have touched.

Thank you to the adventurous, brave, amazing women and men who traveled the world with us since 2016. Thank you to the communities that have let us into their lives. Thank you to those who supported us from near and far.

We are not going out without a celebration though and that celebration is TRAVEL! (obviously)

Come travel with us for the final time and see what the magic is all about:

Happy International Day of the Girl from the most determined, courageous, strong women we've ever met.

This March, we will be partnering with Sambhali Trust, a foundation that empowers and educates more than 1000 women in Rajasthan.

And on International Women's Day, we'll link arm-in-arm with the women of Rajasthan to prepare for and participate in the women's march.

We would love your support, too. Find the Trip Itinerary here: purposefulnomad.com/jewels-of-rajasthan

// Sambhali Trust -" Empowering women and children in Rajasthan"

06/10/2022

For more than 100 years, the Indian census has shown a marked gap between the number of boys and girls. This gap, which has nationwide implications, is a direct result of the burden that women are believed to have on a household.

Sambhali Trust has set out to challenge this belief and support the otherwise neglected women of Rajasthan.

During our Jewels of Rajasthan departure to India... we will partner with this organization to help empower and support the 1,000 women in the organization.

On International Women's Day, we'll stand hand-in-hand with the women of Sambhali Trust to march for their rights. We would love for you to join us and learn from the incredible, transformative work they're doing every day. 💕

In March, we'll be standing hand-in-hand with the women of Sambhali Trust to march for their rights on International Women's Day. We would love for you to join us. ✊

Happy World Tourism Day to all of our sustainable, conscious- traveling ladies! 🌎

We believe in the power of human connection to bring positive change to this world when we are given the opportunity to travel safely, sustainably, and consciously.

When we come together, we share ideas and learn from one another, making lasting connections that blur cross-continental, religious, cultural, and economic lines.

THAT is the power of ethical tourism.

Whether you're making time to understand the communities you travel to, putting your money back into local businesses, leaving each place as you found it, or prioritizing sustainable travel, make sure your tourism feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside. 💙
