August - The Month of India

NomadMania is committed to promoting travel equally around the globe, especially among people from developing countries. We are happy to declare August as our month of travellers from India. 

As part of this, at the end of the month we will host a panel with some of India's biggest travellers, who will discuss various travel issues among them. See the details and register.

We have interviewed a few prominent Indian travellers and will publish these on a weekly basis throughout August.

Today, meet Ravi Prabhu, the biggest traveller originating in India on our Master list. Watch and read the interview with Ravi here. 

New UN Masters

We are super happy to see more and more people finalising their 193 challenge by visiting every country in the world and will be highlighting them in our first newsletter of every month. In July, we have two notable additions.

Christofer Olofsson, a 41 year old backpacker from Sweden just successfully visited every country in the world. Bravo, Christoph!

We're also especially happy to highlight Magali Hinojosa's landmark accomplishment as the first Mexican that we know of to visit every country in the world, a significant triumph! Magali has travelled both with her Mexican and with her US passports.

Congratulations to both new UN Masters!

Recent Events in the NomadMania World

Last month was focused on sustainable travel. We launched different initiatives, including the webinar How to Travel Sustainably. If you missed the live stream on July 29, you can watch the replay here.

The webinar was a great way to recap July as our Travel Sustainable Month, during which we also published the following articles:

• Why should sustainable travel matter to us and what's our approach
• Travel Care Code
• Tips from Center for Responsible Travel (CREST)
