WHY HALFNOMADS?
Omar — a Moroccan carpet salesman — was the first person we met who described himself as a HalfNomad, and we immediately connected with the concept. He said:
“We live in the mountains for 6 months and the other part of the year we come down to take advantage of what the city has to offer”.
We don’t want to move from the city where we live and build another home.
We want to live here and there. We want to return and enjoy the cycles. Again and again.
