About Freaking Nomads

Freaking Nomads is the online publication and community for all things digital nomad. It provides guides, tips, inspiration, and resources to help people live and work anywhere in the world.

Why Freaking Nomads?

Let's be honest. How often do you think people saw your pictures on social media and thought 'OMG, these Freaking Nomads...' while looking at yet another picture-perfect moment on the other side of the world?

They probably didn't like you stepping up and designing a life on your own terms. So they thought you were a just a lucky person or, worse, you were born rich to afford this kind of dream lifestyle.

Here at Freaking Nomads, we want to change that. We want to create a safe environment for all digital nomads and remote workers to freaking feel themselves.

So, YES! - WE ARE FREAKING NOMADS. And we are proud of it. We like to live an unconventional life outside of the rat race and don't like settling down.

Our Story

There is plenty of misinformation about digital nomads out there. They say:

"Digital nomads are just spoiled millennials", "They probably come from money to get to travel full-time", "Digital nomadism is escapism. Don't they want to settle down at some point?"...And so on. You get the whole jazz.

So, one day Irene Lidia Wang and Luca Mussari asked themselves: how come there is no one actually challenging this misleading narrative? They then decided to create Freaking Nomads to allow digital nomads to share with the world an authentic and raw opinion of digital nomadism – no filters needed!

All this while also creating a safe space for digital nomads to find resources that will help them navigate the challenges of this lifestyle while living the best version of their lives.
