Hi! We’re Allan & Katharina

But you can call us Al & Kat! For over 6 years, we have been slow-traveling the world full-time as digital nomads, staying in 20+ countries and choosing local experiences over tourist hotspots.

Our mission is to inspire budget-friendly and meaningful travel adventures that leave a positive impact on you and the places you visit. That’s why you’ll find us in homestays or at a street food cart rather than a fancy rooftop bar. 🌮

On Nomads Beyond, we go beyond typical tourist spots – we dive deep into local life and seek authentic travel experiences while working online and living intentionally.

Whether you’re looking for offbeat destinations, mindful travel guides or practical tips on how to become a slow traveler or digital nomad too – this is your resource to make it happen!

What is Slow Travel?

Funny enough, we started as fast travelers – seeing as many places and sights as we could in a short amount of time. While this is exciting, it’s also really draining for your body, mind and wallet.

When we started to adapt a slower pace, we were able to truly immerse ourselves in the culture, nature, food and people around us. Which is so much more rewarding! 😌

Traveling slowly also helps us to cut down costs immensely, so we can travel full-time. That’s why we often stay weeks or months in one place and soak it all in.

Do you want to travel longer, deeper and cheaper too? Check out our slow travel resources to get started!
