A couple of weeks ago, the new Nomadic Network turned ONE. And honestly, we’re still recovering from the confetti and cake, and reflecting on everything this past year has brought. From unforgettable tours to the friendships formed along the way, it’s been such a joy to grow this community with you. We couldn’t be more honored!
In this issue, we’ve got a few exciting things to share: upcoming pop-up meetups, a spotlight on one of our own leading an unforgettable Egypt adventure, and even a look at some unexpected U.S. small-town gems that caught our eye.
Wherever you’re reading from, I hope this inspires your next journey!
IRL Events Are Popping Up! 📍
Wait a second… we’re not just an online community?

Upcoming Virtual Events 💻
Last week's presentation with Michelle Eyrich from No Place Like Roam was incredible! We learned so much about how to make travel more meaningful by participating in citizen science. Watch the replay here!
We've got more virtual events coming your way! We're always looking to bring you interesting content and ways to connect with our community. We hope to see you at one of these soon!
Here at TNN, we’re usually talking about far-flung adventures across the globe. But, every once in a while, it’s fun to shine a light a little closer to home!
Here’s a list of America’s best small towns for 2025, and it’s packed with charm, history, and unique local flavor. And even if you’re not U.S.-based, this is a great peek into what makes these towns worth a detour, or maybe even a dedicated trip of their own!
Who’s behind the curtain over here at TNN? Meet AnneMarie Field, our creative and driven Social Media Manager!
Living in Brisbane, Australia, with her partner Bryan, she’s responsible for content creation, community engagement, and event promotions for @the.nomadic.network Instagram account.
With a deep passion for sustainability and a lifelong love for photography, she brings a fresh perspective to everything she does, from crafting social media posts to discovering new craft cocktail spots. 🍹
If we're lucky, AnneMarie will also be joining our 2026 Vietnam and Thailand tours. As an experienced traveler and lover of all things Southeast Asia, she’ll be sharing insights and tips from these enchanting destinations. Be sure to follow along for a behind-the-scenes look!
Thanks, as always, for being part of The Nomadic Network. This community wouldn’t exist without your curiosity, your adventurous spirit, and your willingness to share the road with others.
We may only be one year in, but I have a feeling the best adventures are just getting started. Until next time, keep exploring—I can’t wait to see where our travels together take us next.
With gratitude!
Lisa 🌍 TNN Owner + Fellow Explorer
“We had a fun, adventurous, educational, cultural, and fulfilling experience. The people were wonderful. The food was absolutely amazing. The entire experience went off without a problem. I cannot say enough good things about TNN and how it was run. It’s the real deal! Our tour guide for the group surpasses words of excellence. He was kind and caring, extremely personable, and a walking encyclopedia about most anything. I highly recommend the trip and travel with TNN.”~Mary Alice, Vietnam 2025
