Ariadne
Somewhere in France. 2021. I hate selfies.

Nomad Tales is written by Ariadne A. In 2007, I left the United States permanently to see the world. I ended up in Prague for 5 years where I owned a bar for 3 years, got married, and managed to travel Europe whenever I could get away from work. In 2012, I sold the bar and left Prague to travel full-time with my husband. We travelled around Thailand and Cambodia for a few months and then returned to Ireland to bring the Little Nomad into the world. Travel continues, albeit with fewer late night cocktails.

I love exploring archaeological sites and cities with an underground (tunnels, etc.).

Previously known as Little Nomad on this blog, back when he was a toddler who could spot a playground from a speeding tuk-tuk at a distance of 200 yards.

Now he is 9 years old and turning into a veteran traveller, with 22 countries visited so far.

Young Nomad is interested in filmmaking, stop-motion animation, and Kaiju monsters.
