Well… we just crossed the Atlantic together. 🤩🚢🗽

One week ago, we boarded Queen Mary 2 in Southampton with founders, builders, creators and curious minds ready to explore what’s possible with AI.

What followed was a week we’ll probably be talking about for a long time.
We learned, experimented, shared ideas and built together - while somewhere in between, there were dinners, workouts, karaoke, late-night conversations and endless Atlantic views.

We had coaches, explorers and operators on board. Different backgrounds, different levels of AI experience, different ideas. But everyone had one thing in common: we didn’t just talk about AI. We built with it.

Then, at 4:40 AM, after seven days at sea, we sailed into New York City, past the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline. 🗽✨
Not exactly the calm arrival we had on our wishlist… it was wild, rainy and windy. 😂 But honestly? That made it even more magical.

And as we always say: The cruise is just the beginning.

The first Nomad Cruise AI Edition has officially reached New York, but many of us are still here in NYC and continuing the conversations, meetups and friendships that started on board.

To everyone who was part of Nomad Cruise 17:
THANK YOU for making this one so special. 💙

The AI Cruise may be over. But what started on board definitely isn’t. 🌍

Nomad Cruise 17 crew, what’s your favorite memory from the week? 👀👇

Just a really good evening with some really good people.

Our speakers and facilitators spend so much of this week sharing their knowledge with everyone else, so this one was for them.

Good food, conversations, laughs and a little time together somewhere in the Atlantic, on our way from Southampton to New York. 🌊🗽

Thank you for being part of this with us. 🚢

We just did a five-day trip to Luang Prabang, a tourist city in the north of Laos 🇱🇦 It’s a slow and small city with many temples and mosquitoes 😅
We went to two waterfalls, did some boat 🛶 trips on the Mekong river, made some new friends, had some new food, and stayed in a very nice resort.
Looking forward to exploring more South East Asia 🤙🤙🤙

Our Thailand trip!

We lived in Bangkok, Thailand 🇹🇭 for a month in April. We partied at the Songkran Festival, the water fight was tons of fun! We got soaked and covered with white powder. We danced on the streets and music festivals with strangers😁

We made some cool, cute friends! We love our friends😜

Set up our little cozy apartment in Kunming, China. Got flowers, framed our Polaroid pictures, little things in life make it home. We keep joking about we are the professional homeless🤭 but actually we home everywhere we go.
