About us

The Nomad Hey all, Chris here, and well, I guess in this context I'm the nomad of Nurse and the Nomad.

While not truly a Nomad, we have a house and all, I'm a rolling stone and I have always been. At a young age, I couldn't sit still for long periods, never paid much attention and I was a bit of a wild child. Later, a diagnosis of ADHD put things into a "clinical context" but never satiated my need to explore as much of this planet as I could. As the saying goes, "We/I am the middle child of history, born too late to explore earth bit born too early to explore space." -Anonymous. We started this "story" to tell ours, knowing kids of our own may not be in the future, we needed a way to tell our story when we no longer can. One day, like every living thing, we will no longer be the teller of our story but the story that is hopefully told by someone or told here by the two who lived it. 

I spent the last 12 years or so building, running and ultimately selling a healthcare business here in California. I was blessed to be able to work with my Mom and my brother almost daily until late 2021 when we sold the practice and my mom retired. Like many working in healthcare-related fields, 2020 to 2022 was a rough few years and I knew my heart was no longer in it.  After some soul-searching and brainstorming, I decided to follow my passion(s) starting Not So Hostel World a boutique travel agency in California, check out my website for more details.
