    Living a Digital Nomad Lifestyle since 2008

    Photo of Calin Ciabai, owner of NomadNotMad.com

    I am Calin Ciabai, a digital nomad from Romania who creates content and manages websites for a living. I have a bachelor’s degree in Journalism since 2007 and you might’ve seen my articles online on AOL.com, Softpedia.com, as well as various other websites, big or small. (Mostly small, OK!)

    I’m living the location-independent lifestyle since 2008 – I’m one of the O.G. bloggers out there, even though not as famous as those who started when I did (or later). But I’m still standing, despite the massive challenges that are thrown in the way of independent website owners.

    On Nomad, Not Mad, you can read all my travel guides, including blogging advice, how to manage relationships on the road, and much more.

    Or if you want, read more about me here.
