Welcome to ASocialNomad.
We’re Sarah & Nigel. Gen Xers traveling the world with a Y attitude.
We’ve been on the road since 2014. ASocialNomad is our guide to exploring both well-known places and those that are off the beaten track.
So if you want to read about every breathless step of our trek to Everest Base Camp you’re in the right place. Or how we island-hopped around the Caribbean. That too.
There are stories of local buses – like this one in Vietnam. There are documented border crossings. There are tales of food across the world, of cooking lessons, street food, and fancy multi-course meals. And there’s the gear and gadgets and things we find useful here too.
We write too about money, in respect of using it when you’re traveling, and how to get it – our guides to ATM fees are updated regularly by us and other travelers.
So here’s some content to get you started
