THE RATIONAL NOMADMake Sense of Adventure

Hi, I'm Zach, the creator of The Rational Nomad

You won't usually find me talking about the 'classic' tourist destinations because I prefer adventures off the beaten track and I love to explore the relatively unknown corners of our world. I enjoy experiences that are full of unexpected twists, challenging situations and encounters with interesting people.

I have been a full-time nomad since the end of 2021, and I hope to experience as much of the world as humanly possible. I created this blog as a place to organize all of my pictures and memories, but I hope that you can also use it to find some insight and inspiration for your next adventure, or at the very least for a bit of entertainment!

The travel journal is as simple as its name. It's where I keep track of the standout memories and experiences from the places I've explored.

Take a peek inside to learn more about the people, food, culture, nature and activities that you might want to check out when you find yourself passing through!

Whether it's bad directions, bureaucratic headaches or confusing rules, no adventure comes without its challenges, and I can safely say that I've had my fair share. I create these roadmaps so you can benefit from my mistakes!

Here's where you'll find the lessons I've learned from diving into new activities and experiences, and the products and services I rely on to make my nomadic lifestyle easier.

The site isn't called 'The Rational Nomad' for no reason! This section is dedicated to my reflections on deeper topics like human happiness, our economic systems, and the ethics of travel.
