"One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things." --Henry Miller

Nomads United

'A person with an address has abandoned the rest of the world for that one address.' Kareen Kohn is clearly not lacking in original ideas. He has no address, and as a nomad, travels to the farthest corners of the earth. Kohn is the founder of Nomads United -- a movement for young people from a myriad of countries -- which he hopes will offer an alternative to the current way of travelling that treats nature like a product. Kohn takes small groups of up to 15 people for around 3 months on horseback through remote areas in Latin America and Asia. Nomads United seeks to exchange ideas with the locals on ecological awareness, respect and care for animals and nature. Kohn soundly rejects the notion of 'environmental tourism': "This is truly ecological travel. We attempt to change people's perspective on their relationship with earth and its creatures."
