Remembering Anthony Bourdain

June 25th is the late great Anthony Bourdain's birthday, and after his death by suicide on June 8th, 2018 has come to be recognized as Bourdain Day, an international holiday of sorts. It was first suggested by Bourdain's friends, Jose Andres & Eric Ripert as a way to celebrate Tony's life. Today the Nomad crew is virtually raising a glass to toast Anthony Bourdain, his magnificent life, and enduring legacy. No one person more closely personified the spirit of Nomad than Anthony Bourdain.

Our Support For Racial Justice

Last week, we thought about ways Nomad could help Black Lives Matter protesters, beyond an IG post and a tweet. So we donated 4,440 total masks to community organizers in Minneapolis as a start. One of the things unique to Nomad is our ability to quickly ship PPE to those who need it. We thought that getting masks to protesters and communities who are organizing for justice right now, was one of the ways we could immediately help out those on the ground. Making sure people have adequate PPE to protect themselves and others while protesting is something that we can do as a company right now.

How to Office Anywhere

Remote work is on the rise—and that's not just due to fears around COVID19 (Coronavirus). In 2018, Forbes predicted that soon up to 50% of the U.S. workforce will be remote. Here at Nomad, we've been advocates of remote work and non-traditional offices for ages.

Tales of Wanderings Far & Wide

Maiden Voyage

There's something enticing about buying an old car online and planning to drive it across the desert. Sure the risk is high: the bankruptcy auction you purchased the '69 VW Beetle from made it sound and look much better than it was, and when you drive it to California from Eastern Arizona, it doesn't even make 100 miles when the transmission blows, and you're stuck with no service and a lot of ocotillos.
