It is the end of May already, a big month for NomadMania.

Today, we present you a small recap on the main things that happened inside our community in the last 30 days. Let's go...

Updated Website

On May 1st we rolled out the updated version of our website NomadMania.com. It is more user friendly now and most content is published there instead of in the newsletter, making it easier to navigate and to 'consume' on mobile devices also.

Our team is always working to make it better. And if you have any suggestions how we can continue improving, simply let us know via the CONTACT US page form.

'What is a Visit' Guidelines

Based on the previous polls where YOU voted reviewing various travel situations, we have codified requirements regarding minimal visit rules. 

See the detailed instruction here.

Additionally, our founder Harry Mitsidis conducted a webinar last Saturday explaining everything personally. See the webinar replay here if you happen to have missed it.

Travel Record Verifications

From the beginning of its existence, NomadMania has positioned itself as a community which is serious about travel, and for this reason verification was initiated as early as 2014. 

Verification ensures that a traveller’s claims are real by checking that a traveller has truly visited a country or region that is claimed.

We made a step further and introduced Supreme Verification as our commitment to the entire community of serious travellers.

Read more about all our verification tiers and remember, you're always welcome to contact us if you're eligible and wish to proceed with this.

New UN Masters

May was a rich month for new UN masters who finished their mission on the way to visit every UN country. All the ones we know of are NomadMania members. These heroes are:

• Tor Pedersen (last country - Maldives). Read the interview.
• Lucy Hsu (last country - Syria). Read the interview.
• Ruben Arnal (last country - Turkmenistan).
• Janie Borisov from Australia has also just completed 193! We hope to have more about her achievement next week!
• Martin Källstrand from Sweden  also completed 193 last week in Eritrea. 

Fresh Interviews

We also published a few fresh interviews with our members: 

• Jacquelyn Kunz who lived 8 years in Sudan;
• Josh Bender a seasoned traveller and digital nomad;
• Lourdes Odette Ricasa, the biggest Filipino traveller. 

Our social media channels are becoming more active

We introduced the initiative whereby our members take over the NomadMania Instagram account for a few days and share their travel experiences. 

Let us know if you would like to take over as well one of the coming weekends!

Tours

From now on we have the entire Tour Section on our website.

Our Tour to Bratislava is full. However there are still a few more spots left for our Armenia and Libya tours which will be held in Autumn.

The culmination of our events this year will be the 3rd NomadMania Awards ceremony to be held in Lviv, Ukraine on October 21st with some add-ons trips to Kyiv and Kharkiv in the week leading to that.

Save the week starting October 15th. More details coming soon...

May was indeed a busy month. We wish you a great start of summer.

The main focus in June will be on the topic of Mental Health and travel, on which we already had a poill where many of you contributed.

So stay tuned for more and happy travels!
