Welcome to the new WorldNomad site! Travel and travel photography are my passions in life and my intention is to dedicate this site to the pursuit of traveling, especially budget and backpack traveling.

One wet and rainy Seattle day in 1999, after 17 years working as a software developer, I put all my worldly belongings into storage, strapped on my backpack and have been living overseas ever since!

My grandfather was a world-traveler and I guess I inherited his wanderlust. 1995 Introduced me to the wonders of international travel. First with a trip to Europe, then Mexico and exotic Asia. Since 1999 I have been living abroad (mostly in and around Thailand) and traveling around the world.

This site has something of an ancient history, it all started back on June 1st, 1998 under the domain name of “mystral.net”, later it morphed over to 1Nomad.com where I let it perish. After many years in the archives of cyberspace I’ve allowed it to rise from the ashes and so WorldNomad.net is born.

Sometimes a dream can take wings and become a reality. I hope this site can inspire people to enjoy life and bring the armchair adventurer a taste of our wonderful world…
