The community
that stays with you,
wherever you are.
Life on the road can be incredible can't it?
But it can also leave us missing a sense of community,
feeling lonely even, and longing for a tribe of our own -
a group of like-minded people who totally "get" our lifestyle.
If you sometimes feel this way, Happy Nomad Club is for you!
Imagine being part of a community that you get to keep everywhere you go.
A place where every nomad belongs, and can build lasting connections.
A community that offers fun and laughter, as well as support through nomad life's challenges.
So that we can enjoy this life to the fullest - with our tribe by our side.
That's what Happy Nomad Club is all about.
We're here for...
Meaningful connection
We believe in quality over quantity and facilitate authentic interaction
Creating happiness
We create joyful spaces and invite deeper connections through play
Cultivating belonging
Everyone is welcome here, we are anti-
discrimination and pro- being just as you are

The story so far
Hi, I’m Natalie, a portfolio freelancer and part-time digital nomad. A couple of years ago, as we were coming out of pandemic restrictions, I realised I could do my work from wherever I wanted to be, and immediately took advantage by heading to Madeira for two months. I loved it, and haven't looked back since - doing stints in Croatia, France, Greece and Italy, as well as working from around the UK.Whilst I'm an avid solo traveller, more than happy in my own company, I’ve found myself seeking connection with like-minded travellers and free spirits - friendships that last beyond the duration of my current stop.
I've also heard others wondering:• How do people cope with the loneliness of travelling alone?
• How do you make friends in new places, and keep them if you’re moving around all the time?
• If I don't have a fixed home, where do I belong?Sure, there are often local networks to connect with or groups we can travel with - but what happens when we move on or the trip ends?So, all this got me thinking: What would it be like to have a community that goes everywhere with you, a close group who you remain connected to, wherever in the world you are and however long you stay?This is where the Happy Nomad Club comes in – my vision is for a thriving community where nomads feel seen and understood as they are, and come together with others to build deeper social connections.Curious to discover what this could become? Why not join us for the next chapter...
