Last year, we successfully organized four incredible tours to Syria, with many more in the pipeline. However, plans were briefly put on hold during the government transition in late 2024.

Fortunately, the situation stabilised quickly, and now, with flights resuming to Damascus, Syria is once again ready to welcome visitors with open arms!

We invite you to step into the heart of Syria this Easter on a journey filled with history, faith, and breathtaking landscapes.

*** If you already have other plans for Easter then join us in late May for Conference #5 in Fergana, Uzbekistan. Last dozen spots available and very affordable considering the incredibly packed program.

Envoy of the Month Interview: Filippo Aragone

For Filippo Aragone, travel is more than just visiting new places — it’s a lifelong journey of curiosity, learning, and connection. As a businessman, consultant, and NomadMania’s Envoy for Italy, Filippo continues to foster a sense of community among travellers while pushing his own boundaries.

In this interview, he shares remarkable stories, reflects on the ethical responsibilities of global travellers, and reveals the country he’d choose if he could never leave again. Read the full interview here.

More Meetings Around the World

Recently another Envoy, Vassilis Stamatelopoulos, organised a NomadMania meeting in Nicosia, Cyprus. It was hosted by recent UN Master Evelthon Vasiliou. See more events in our Calendar. 

Remember that you can also meet other travellers on the road :-) 

For that you need to have a NomadMania app (ios/android) and turn on location sharing. Then browse the map, see who is around and connect.

Messages Limitation

Recently we noticed more fake accounts that join NomadMania simply to send spam via private messages to our users in the app. 

So, we limit the messaging functionality to Authenticated users only.

If you're not Authenticated yet - that's pretty easy to fix. Two other authenticated users have to confirm you by simply clicking the relevant button :-)

This week we have added the following DAREs to the NomadMania map: 

• Bahamas - Walker's Cay (northernmost) 
• China - Sichuan - Ngawa county northern salient
