The reason you are here, at this moment, this second, to browse through my blog…means something!
Maybe something in the name “Wellness Nomad” resonates with you! Is it the wording? Wellness? Nomad? Are you interested in Wellness Travel? Or is it something else – perhaps a feeling?
Whatever the reason is – Welcome precious one!
This journey started for me with a deep desire to share bits and pieces of my personal journey, or how I like to call it – my Odyssey. I’m hoping to later knit your journey along this thread of Wellness Nomads.
May this become a space for all of us Nomads interested in different aspects of Wellness, relationships, and coming from many parts of the world, to inspire and be inspired.
Why Wellness?
Wellness was always an essential part of my life. This started when I was just a little girl. I was blessed to grow up with an open minded mother who saw the value in alternative medicine and holistic methods that were still new back then.
In life we sometimes encounter those unexpected moments which stop time and force us to think – who we are, where we are, what we do, how we do it and what matters. That point for me was when I was diagnosed with breast cancer and suddenly faced challenges I wasn’t prepared for.
And then the whole concept of Wellness started to matter more, mean more and gave me purpose.
Why Nomad?
Nomad by definition is a Wanderer, who does not usually stay long in the same place. We have this irresistible yearning for new adventures, places, cultures, and experiences even if we might build roots in a place we call home.
For some of us being a Nomad literally means the never ending search for a home, coming along many and sometimes painful moves in search for our, so called, North Star.
Why Wellness Nomad?
The goal is to grow as we start this journey while we bring up memories and recite old stories.
By utilizing our experiences and individual strengths we can create something bigger and empower others. As Nomads we are fluid, easily adjusting and willing to explore. We keep trying even if we fail, continue learning and growing, and never giving up! Instilled in us is, what we call in Finland , sisu = stoic determination, tenacity of purpose, grit, bravery, resilience. And that is why my social media hashtag is sisu_nomad.
The Purpose is to enhance the Wellness in all the areas in our lives : Physical, Emotional, Intellectual, Cultural & Spiritual. At the same time we keep exploring and enjoying the colorful mosaic of cultures, languages, cuisines, traditions and lifestyles.
I hope you join me in this enriching journey!
