AVERAGE, BUT NOT REALLY
#millenials
#remotework
#expat
Hopefully, you know by now that the vast majority of people are average. Only a few are really bad performers, and we're not comparing us to this low.
We shouldn't compare ourselves with the FEW good ones either.
But we did leave our comfort zone, so we're not really average either.
We are travellers.
We are global citizens.

#storytelling
Hey, it's me and my girlfriends
It might be YOU as well. We're the women who fell in love with the world while travelling. Maybe you also moved some place far away from where you grew up. Or do you call home any place chosen for a few days or weeks? Have you made a career move or followed some foreign guy after watching the sunset together on an island?
We all left home and sometimes we look back.
We analyse, we talk to each other, and we inspire our next moves.
We dedicate this space for our adventures, life lessons, for our 30s dramas, for our findings we can't fit in our bags.
Let's connect in this big world, and curate feelings together.

CULTURAL SHOCKS
We are from nowhere, going to everywhere.
But we all have some roots, some socially wired backgrounds.
In a way or another, these affect the way we work, the way we interact with others and the way we look at life. We became aware of differences and moved around to get various perspectives on work, dating and ended up also hoarding useful information.
We dedicate 3 pages to learning to navigate life and hope some will help you too.
But there's a warning: some things still... shock us too.
The truth is we like to work.
We haven't figured out how to make a business in 5 steps.
We don't travel and make money at the same time.
We long for a #9to5 career or a #start-up life, or #freelance projects fuelled by purpose.

Dating sucks. Some relationships make you feel trapped too.
We're struggling to figure out what we want and have our own
commitment issues, while guys are #ghosting, overreacting or just acting strange.
Plenty of real stories here to realize you're not #alone.
There's nothing wrong with you.
#hopeless generation
Every new place is a chance to become a whole different person. The fundamental luxury of solo travel is that you get to leave your self behind. This trick of disappearing might make you addicted, but it doesn't make your problems fade away.
When travelling turns into a full-time job, micro-decisions drain your energy.
What type of traveller are you?
TRAVEL THOUGHTS
DISCLAIMER: what you read here is accumulated wisdom.
We absorb novelty like a sponge; we care about everything that helps us understand more, we dig deeper and grow.
Most of our thoughts are highly influenced by lifelong readings challenged by real life too. We analyse tons of information and mirror it through cultural perspectives.
Curation is something that will be more and more valued in this never-ending sea of (mis)information. We're happy to recommend you eye-opening content, to summarize good books in order to make you read them too, and share essentials that ease life, and we can't live without.
You can trust the fact that we take #noshortcuts, we read from cover to cover, not only Blinkist, we never stop on the 2nd page on Google, and we love counterarguments.

Curated goodies
Flamingos feed by stirring up mud with their feet.
Then they reach down, scoop and get the food that turns their feather pink.
It comes seasoned with mud.
ABOUT the optimistic realist behind Las Nomadas
Because I love analogies I'd say I'm a flamingo when it comes to information. It is food for my soul and it makes me happy. And happiness comes in colours. To get the good from the less good is life after all, and sometimes it gets muddy, but there's not much joy in clear waters either. The titles and bold words should make you want to dig deeper and read more.
I’m about balance, always looking for shades and different perspectives to paint reality, because it’s already full of biases. I’m not into extremes, and hopefully I’ll manage to translate thoughts and always leave space for your own judgement. There are some general truths that might be dramatized for the sake of smiles.
Ok, still haven't told you concrete stuff about me: I'm an average millennial, in her 30s, who pursued creative jobs under the umbrella of marketing, and started growing powered by the digital, while also moving around mostly solo travelling. It's not my first web project, but it comes as an extension of my experience throughout the years. I decided to stop nomading and call Switzerland my home, which makes me now an expat, although I have eastern European roots.
My name is Gloria, nice to meet you, and hopefully you can resonate with most of what you read, and feel it could be your name too.
NOT MY STORY
We meet new people who seem more than average. They made the news in our bubble by doing something great, have a cool job title or just did something we wish we could do one day. So, we ask questions and find out about some chapters of their stories. It also could be your story if you feel like sharing.
Give us a sign and get featured!
A book is in the making too, interviewing women who influence change in fashion, travel and lifestyle generally.
Soon more details to come :)
Thanks for stopping by :)
Everything you see is still under construction!
Hope you like it so far and you're curious about what else is coming.
If so, let's connect and as a bonus you'll get one of the recommended books as an ebook!
We also tend to forget about our bookmarks, and we'd love to close tabs instead of collecting them so...better keep us in your inbox?
