It started in 2022 in Toulouse, France — a base of operations for what would become an obsessive, unplanned exploration of Europe, North Africa, and beyond. No itinerary. No travel agency. Just a bag, a camera, and a parrotlet waiting at home.
The idea was simple: travel like a local, write like a friend. Not the sanitized, sponsored version of a destination — but the real one. The 5am markets, the wrong trains, the hidden restaurants with no English menu, the Sahara at sunrise, the Lofoten Islands in June, the chaos of Medellín at Christmas.
"Don't plan it. Wing it."
AviaNomad is built on the belief that the best travel content comes from genuine curiosity — not press trips or paid placements. Every review, recommendation, and route on this site has been lived, not just researched.
Skylar may not have boarded a single flight. But his spirit has been on every one of them.
