The Nomad World Festival, held in Albufeira, Portuguese Algarve, from October 9th to 14th, 2023, was an exceptional gathering of around 200 digital nomads. The mornings were charged with inspiring talks on various subjects, from crypto, AI, and fitness to mental health and the art of managing remote businesses. Our founder, Christoph Huebner, delivered a keynote titled “Take Risks. Confidently,” shedding light on four inconvenient truths about insurance for digital nomads. These sessions served as a catalyst for fresh ideas and invigorating discussions.

Afternoons of Bliss

But the festival wasn’t just about absorbing knowledge; afternoons were a time for rejuvenation. Attendees indulged in beach activities, explored the art of acro yoga, and, most importantly, formed meaningful connections. The Portuguese Algarve provided a perfect backdrop for relaxation and interaction, and the warm embrace of the municipality and locals enhanced the sense of community.

NOMADS.insure: Championing the Nomadic Spirit

NOMADS.insure took pride in being the primary sponsor of this vibrant event. This sponsorship was not just a corporate gesture but a testament to our commitment to the digital nomad community. Our collaboration with the festival organizers was nothing short of remarkable, solidifying our partnership in a three-way handshake. This collaboration will continue in the 2024 edition of the festival.

A Night to Remember

To conclude the extraordinary week, NOMADS.insure hosted a cozy villa party. Approximately 30 guests gathered to celebrate Markus’ birthday. The evening was filled with mouthwatering homemade dishes and sizzling barbecue, alongside engaging conversations that sparked creativity. At the stroke of midnight, everyone came together to serenade Markus with a heartfelt rendition of “Happy Birthday.” This was a night that highlighted the essence of community and the joy of shared experiences.
