The Founder’s Story
Personal Journey:
Since 2021, I’ve been working remotely from Central and South America. Living abroad opened my eyes to the unique challenges digital nomads face, inspiring me to create a platform tailored to our needs.

Filling a Gap:
I noticed that there weren’t any dedicated platforms truly serving digital nomads. While platforms like CouchSurfing and Facebook Groups exist, they didn’t offer the focused community and resources I was seeking. This realization drove me to create an app tailored to the unique needs of expats.
02
Passion for Community:
My time as an expat/nomad has showed me the power of connections. I set out to create a platform where expats can easily find friends, share experiences, and build a supportive community.

Dedicated to Making a Difference:
Fully self-funded and driven by personal experience, I’m committed to providing a platform that genuinely helps digital nomads navigate their new lives abroad.

What Our Users Say
Nomadly isn't just another app - it solves real problems for real people.
Radu Zamostean
Civil Engineer
Finding friends as a digital nomad is usually awkward. Nomadly solved that for me. I opened the app, joined two groups, and ended up at an event the same night. It just works the way you hope these apps would.
Alexa Torres
Air BnB Manager
What I like is it’s not fake social media energy. The posts, the events, the groups—it’s all people who are actually here living the same lifestyle. I’ve met solid friends through it already.”
Jorge Rodriguez
Professional Photographer
I’ve lived in Medellín for months and honestly had no idea how many cool people were around me until Nomadly. I’ve hit meetups, joined a couple communities, and even found an apartment lead. It just makes the city feel smaller in a good way.

I wish this existed earlier. Every time I moved cities, starting over socially sucked. Now it’s just open the app, find the communities I vibe with, and I’m connected within a day. Super helpful.
Mokhtar Ali
AI Engineer
Nomadly has been the easiest way for me to plug into a new city. I landed in Medellín, set my location, and suddenly had communities, events, and people to meet. I don’t even check Facebook groups anymore.
