ON Member Bulletin

Ahoy Again!

We are halfway through May and I am definitely enjoying the longer days and warmer sunny energy as I bounce around the Northern Hemisphere. ☀️🌊
​

This new moon, to me, feels like an invitation to get outside more, reconnect with fellow nomads, and say yes to more adventure while also staying a little grounded in my routines.

So here is your member-only New Moon Bulletin — a simple roundup of upcoming adventures, new members, community highlights, and a few exciting opportunities and gatherings for the season ahead.

We share this every new moon with our members to help you stay connected — whether that’s sailing, joining a meetup online or in person, finding / becoming crew, or creating more freedom and fun in adulthood!

Hoping you all can enjoy the changing seasons, maybe even if your seasons are the opposite of mine :)

P.S. If anyone is making there way to Cornwall England this summer, let me know!

With love,
Brianna

Has a fellow Ocean Nomad supported or inspired you? You can do the same and help out a fellow Nomad who is new to the platform. Say hi and motivate each other. Lots of us join and stay for different reasons. Don't hesitate to make those connections!

See who else is new, say hi, explore the profiles. And update your profile with the latest connection features so the right people will find you.

The Ocean Nomads Map helps us find each other and share discoveries around the world.

You can see who is nearby, explore vessels, projects and basecamps, and discover useful tips shared by fellow Ocean Nomads.

This map grows through the discoveries of the community. Every tip added helps the next Ocean Nomad explore a little wiser. Your small contribution may help someone else years from now.

Have you pinpointed your boat, van, travel location and treasures on the ON map yet?

Member deal: Omnia Ovens

Great for Summer Camping!

Omnia ovens are compact, stovetop ovens designed for cooking and baking without a traditional oven. Popular among campers, van-lifers, and boaters, they use a simple three-part design—a base, a central chimney, and a lid—to circulate heat evenly over a burner. Despite their small size, Omnia ovens can handle a surprising range of dishes, from fresh bread and casseroles to cakes and roasted vegetables, making them a versatile solution for off-grid or space-limited cooking. Contact Brianna in the Network if you are interested! We will sent you a limited offer code EU WEBSITE US WEBSITE

We’ve got your back.

& See you out there!
