NomadicClan publishes stories and practical guides from people who actually do the things they write about.
If you’ve climbed the route, hiked the trail, lived in the country, raised kids abroad, worked remotely from the road, taught in an international school, spent a season skiing somewhere, or learned something the hard way that could help someone else, we want to hear from you.
You do not have to be a professional writer.
You do need real experience.
What We’re Looking For
NomadicClan focuses on the intersection of adventure, family, international living, and location-independent work.
We are especially interested in first-hand contributions about rock climbing, hiking, biking, skiing, camping and outdoor adventure; family-friendly climbing areas and adventure destinations; living abroad with children; long-term and slow travel;
A good NomadicClan article should make the reader feel like they are getting advice from someone who has already been there.
First-Hand Experience Matters
Research can strengthen an article. It cannot replace experience.
If you’re writing about a climbing area, tell us about the approach, grades, rock, conditions, parking, kids, dogs, shade, bathrooms, hazards, and the things you discovered once you arrived.
If you’re writing about living somewhere, tell us what normal life feels like there.
If you’re writing about international teaching, tell us what the hiring process, school environment, qualifications, benefits, or daily work actually looked like.
Specific details are valuable. Generic statements aren’t.
We would rather publish one useful observation that could only come from experience than another 2,000-word roundup assembled from search results.
Original Photography
Whenever possible, submissions should include original photographs taken by you.
For destination and outdoor articles, we strongly prefer at least two usable high-resolution images. More is better when photographs help explain approaches, routes, trails, neighborhoods, gear, conditions, or family logistics.
Please don’t send stock photographs or images copied from another website or social-media account.
AI and Research Tools
We aren’t interested in pretending AI doesn’t exist.
Use tools to organize notes, research background information, check grammar, or improve a draft if they help you.
But the experience, observations, opinions, photographs, and expertise behind the article must be yours.
If a submission could have been written without ever leaving a desk, it probably isn’t right for NomadicClan.
Links and Commercial Content
Useful contextual links are welcome.
Every published contributor gets an author bio box at the end of their article, with a short bio and a link to their own website. That is how we credit writers. We never charge to publish.
Paid backlinks, undisclosed sponsored placements, link insertions, affiliate redirects, and articles written primarily to promote a company, product, or website are not.
If you represent a company and want to work with NomadicClan commercially, please use our Partnerships page instead of the pitch form below.
Editorial and commercial decisions are kept separate.
What Happens After You Submit
Start with a pitch rather than sending a finished article. Use the form at the bottom of this page. It goes straight to our editor.
Tell us what you want to write about, why you are qualified to write it, where or when you gained the experience, and what readers will learn.
Include links to previous work if you have them. They are helpful but not required.
If the topic looks like a good fit, we’ll contact you about the full article.
Submissions may be edited for clarity, accuracy, structure, formatting, and NomadicClan’s editorial style. Significant factual changes will be discussed with the contributor.
A Few Things That Will Get an Immediate No
Mass-produced guest-post pitches, generic destination roundups, rewritten material from other websites, purchased backlinks, undisclosed promotional content, and articles without meaningful first-hand experience aren’t a fit for NomadicClan.
Neither are pitches that begin with “Dear Webmaster.”
We’re a family. You can just talk to us like people.
Have Something Worth Sharing?
Tell us about it.
The best pitches are usually simple:
Here’s what I did. Here’s what I learned. Here’s why I think it would help your readers.
That’s enough to start the conversation.
