Why “Nomad”?
We first dreamt up Nomad Backcountry Adventures after being inspired by a chance meeting with Appalachian Trail legend, NimbleWill Nomad, on the Pinhoti Trail in 2000. NimbleWill had been backpacking for 195 days, from the northern reaches of Canada’s Cap Gaspe towards the Florida Keys, a total of 4,400 miles and approx ten million steps. A mystical man in his sixties laden with a white beard and an unburdened grace in his step, NimbleWill found that once he began “walking,” he could not stop; the people he met, landscape he saw, challenges he faced, and lessons he learned compelled him onward. His journey was one of body, mind and spirit.
We were on the…day of a two-week, 110-mile hike. During this trip we launched a vision of affordable, accessible, and creative adventure travel. After working for numerous outdoor travel companies, we wanted to be involved in every step of the process- we wanted to design, market, and guide trips the in-line with our beliefs about how to approach adventure travel.
To us, NimbleWill Nomad was more than mere wanderlust personified. He symbolized the inspiration, perseverance, commitment, and possibility that have supported our creation of Nomad Backcountry Adventures and the values we strive to inspire through it.
