Contribute to Midlife Nomads
Midlife Nomads is a publication for location-independent adults navigating reinvention after 40.
We publish honest, experience-driven stories about remote work, travel, coliving, identity shifts, and building a life that feels deliberate, not by default.
If you have lived experience to share, we’d love to hear from you.
Midlife Nomads is a curated publication that reaches a growing global audience of midlife professionals exploring remote work, travel, and reinvention. We’re thoughtful and selective about what we publish.
