What We do

The Magic of Meraki

Meraki is a Greek word meaning to do something with so much passion and soul that you leave a part of yourself in your work. 


We feel this concept beautifully captures what we do at Curious Nomad Travel. Our company was created out of a profound love for Crete and broader Greece which drives our desire to nurture intellect, global perspectives, and curiosity through culturally immersive travel. 


Meraki is infused in everything that Curious Nomad Travel does and stands for.


At Curious Nomad Travel, we believe “to love what you do, is to do it well.”  This is true: We love what we do…and we do it well.
