🧨 Sending you this week’s update from Bansko, where the Bansko Nomad Fest was in full swing this last week. Based on the feedback collected, it sounds like the experience imporved sonderably over the years. It’s now firmly on my to-do list for next year and beyond.

1. Reminder: deeper connection = better conversations
2. 3 weeks working & exploring the Azores Islands
3. A collection of other goodies

Azores Islands, Portugal, middle of North Atlantic Ocean

Learn to go deep with your conversations

Many of us despise superficial connections. We need deep bonds to feel connected, but we are often stuck on the surface, with our vulnerabilities and questions buried deep down.

The solution is simpler than we think: just learn to ask more meaningful and deeper questions.

Take action: Make a list of great questions to ask people you want to connect with meaningfully. You can have a list for dating, one for business networking, and one for interesting people you meet randomly.

Fly to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean

What: Azores Nomad Exploration is a 3-week event by Nomadx and local governments, designed for digital nomads and adventure seekers. The event takes place on the beautiful islands of São Jorge and Pico, featuring a mix of work, exploration, and cultural activities.

Why: Small group which means great opportunities to forge long-term connections + amazingly beautiful nature.

When: 8-29th September 2024

Candy for the adventurous and the curious

  • Nature: Island survival adventures in the Philippines, Panama, and beyond. Trips usually include training and 3 days of raw survival challenge.
