The NomadTALKS are proudly presented by International Experience Canada (Government of Canada program).
Do you dream of travelling and working abroad? In this case, mark your calendars for the #NomadTALKS because you’re about to make your dreams come true! If you are a Canadian between 18 and 35 years old, this is the opportunity you don’t want to miss!
What are the NomadTALKS?
The NomadTALKS conferences are like no other events. The aim is to inspire as many people as possible to travel further, longer and more often on a platform that is not only informative but also entertaining. Since the launch, other cool travellers have joined the conversation with Safia and Emilie (the founders of Nomad Junkies) to share their nomadic experience, and so began the NomadTALKS.
In this year’s seven online events, we will talk about visas (to work abroad), money (for before, during and after your trip), jobs (how to find work abroad) and of course, travel!
Why participate?
You don’t need to go far for a taste of adventure. If you wish to explore the world while travelling, the NomadTALKS are for you.
During the NomadTALKS events, you’ll hear inspiring stories from friendly nomads ready to share with you their amazing work and travel abroad experiences.
What are you waiting for? Listen as others share their stories so that when the opportunity arises, YOU can be confident in making an informed decision about where or what type of travel experience is best suited just for YOU!
At the end of the NomadTALKS events, you’ll be ready to plan the best experience of your life!
