Experience

Norm is the author of "Nomadic Travels for All Ages" and "The History and Magic of Northern Greece," both dedicated to helping travelers (of all ages) travel with less stress and more fun. He and his wife, Kathleen, have visited 43 countries since 2019, and, at ages 70/ 71, they have traveled only with carry-on luggage and have no plans to stop. They have no permanent home but consider several countries their "home." Before becoming a nomad and travel journalist, Norm was a columnist for the Newport Beach (CA) Independent newspaper, wrote for various trade magazines, and was a platform speaker in several industries worldwide.
