travel blog for backpackers, Adventurers and outdoor lovers
Hi, I’m Cynthia Bil, a Belgian adventurer and travel photographer who has lived nomadically since 2011. Instead of bouncing from country to country, I prefer to travel slowly and get to know the places I visit. It took me 3 years to hitchhike from Ireland to Central Asia; I guess that says enough about my travel pace…
Journal of Nomads is my Adventure Travel Blog for independent backpackers and adventurous travelers interested in culture, nature,and off-the-beaten-path regions such as Central Asia and the Caucasus. I also share my knowledge and experiences on traveling long-term and becoming location independent. If you’re searching for handy guides and practical advice, you’re in the right place!
