The 6th NomadMania Conference will take place in...

Hello NomadManians! We are ready to announce where the 6th NomadMania Conference will take place!

During the final evening in Fergana, we held a vote to decide on the location of the next Conference. The surprising finalists were as follows:

Andaman Islands,
Cabinda,
Greenland
Nosy Be (Madagascar).

We examined each of these cases carefully in an effort to create an unforgettable event. In all the cases, this proved impossible either due to costs beyond the acceptable level or due to the inability to find reliable local partners who understood who NomadMania is and what exactly our aims are.

We believe that our main success in Uzbekistan was communicating well with the local tourist board and building a relationship that allowed us to offer unique, never-done-before experiences. It was also very important for us to book accommodation that would be exclusively for our Conference.

And so, without further ado, we are happy to announce our venue as well as the day-to-day programme.

Dates: June 10-14, 2026
Conference Theme: UN and UN+
Conference Location: Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, Brazil – a World Heritage Site town.
Conference Accommodation (entire hotel): entire hotel for our conference to be announced soon; a secondary hotel possible according to demand
Arrival/Departure Airport: Belo Horizonte, Brazil
Expected Weather: 15-25 degrees Celcius, very mild (‘cold’ for Brazilian standards)

Pre-Conference Trip: May 25-June 6 : Macapá (Brazil), French Guiana, Suriname, Guyana (to be launched on September 9)

Post-Conference Trip: June 16-June 28: Unexplored North-eastern Brazil (to be launched on September 23)

More Events Around The World

Last week we hosted three fantastic meetings in Manchester, Frankfurt and Gothenburg. It’s truly inspiring to see the NomadMania community connecting in different corners of the world, all united by the same spirit — the 'mania' of travelling.

Since enabling trusted members to host their own meetings, we’ve noticed a significant increase in activity from local travel leaders. In fact, this September alone, multiple NomadMania events are taking place every week across the globe!

And remember—you can also host your own NomadMania event! Have fun and we hope to meet you somewhere out in this beautiful world.

Across 150 Countries with Half a Heart

What does it take to see 150 countries? For Davide Cirelli, it’s more than passports and plane tickets — it’s resilience, courage, and a heart that beats against the odds. Literally.

Born with a serious heart condition, Davide was told his steps might be limited. Instead, he turned them into footsteps across 150 countries — from panic attacks in foreign hospitals to barefoot escapes in Mexico, to launching his inspiring project #HalfHeartFullWorld.
