Welcome to extremenomads.life – a blog for adrenaline junkies, outdoor adventurers, travel lovers and mad monkeys with a thing for good vibes.

We cover all things extreme sports and travel; as well as more traditional activities like hiking, diving, or cycling. You can explore our content either by destination in our travel category, or by activity in our sports category.

We specialize in destination guides covering specific activities in interesting regions, for example these guides to the best wake parks in Asia, the best kitesurfing spots in Sri Lanka, or the best hikes in Ireland, but we also zero in on all the outdoor activities available in a specific spot, like our monster guides to Hua Hin in Thailand, Phan Rang in Vietnam, or Siargao in Philippines.

To reach a specific country or sport directly, use our top menu by hovering over (desktop), or clicking on (mobile) each section.

Finally, we also love reviewing and testing products / services in both sports and tech that we think our readers will be stoked with, and you’ll find this content in the reviews category. Our most popular articles there so far are definitely a complete test of the latest GoPro Hero 7 Black, what we think are the best watersports sunglasses on the market, and this massive overview of the best surf camps in Bali.

We hope you enjoy our content; and if you’re interested in what’s happening behind the scenes, you can follow us either on Facebook, any of our social accounts below, or subscribe to our newsletter by filling in the form at the bottom of this page (or when exiting the site).

Always thought I was a beach person over mountains. Always. 🏝 ☀️ 🌊 But that was until we went and spent two weeks getting lost in @serrechevalier in the Hautes Alpes. - Now I know I love snow covered mountains just as much as a windy, wave smashed tropical beach. ❄️ 🏔 - Where do you lie on the mountains vs beach spectrum? Let’s chat in the comments 👇🏽 - Tag #extremenomads to share your outdoor adventures! - - - - #mountainlife #mountainescape #leshautesalpes #serrechevalier #briançon #findmeinthemountains #trailseeker #feelthealps #alpsmountains #alpsoutdoorz #alpsmountaineering #hello_france #igersfrancenature #mountaintop #mountainsarecalling #mountainscapes #mountainscenery #naturescape #nature_lovers #snowphotography #winterwonderland #france_focus_on #tourismefrance #francetravel
 “Searching for women’s snowboarding gear is kinda like searching for a g-spot (it’s doesn’t have to be confusing, guys; ya just need someone to tell you where to find it).” 😂 - That’s the first line of the WHOPPING 4K word blog post I’ve just finished writing on how to find and choose rad snowboarding gear for women. - Included: best women’s snowboarding brands, where to score cheap deals, important tech-y things to know about when picking your gear, and ummm how not to panic-bid on snow pants on eBay and accidentally almost ship it to your ex boyfriend’s mom’s house. 🤦🏻‍♀️ - Big thanks to all the chicks here on insta that offered advice a few weeks back when I was searching for my own (errr snowboarding gear, that is, not g-spot 🤨). - The post will go live later this week. Will any of you be interested in reading it?

 Snowkiting might just be our new favourite sport 😍🌬❄️ - During our stay in @serrechevalier we spent an afternoon learning from the locals at Col du Lautaret, one of Europe’s best snowkiting destinations. - It’s such a cool thing to be able to ride in <10 knots of wind (and with a 7/9m kite!) and the sensation of kiting on snow is pretty special, if all you know is kiting on water. - We also love how economical snowkiting is compared with skiing or snowboarding on the pistes (for reference, a 6 day ski pass sets you back about €270). Invest in your own gear — or put your old snowboard/skis and kitesurfing gear to new use and BOOM — no more expenses. - We highly recommend checking out Col du Lautaret and getting in touch with the crew at @kitelegende for lessons, spot guidance, or gear rental. Big shout out to Rémi for an epic day of riding! #partner - - - #extremenomads - - - #serrechevalier #serreche #coldulautaret #snowkiting #kiteflying #travelstoked #kitelife #kitetribe #hangloose #feelthealps #winterwonderland #powderplay #leshautesalpes #hautesalpes #hello_france #adrenalinejunkie #actionsports #actionsportsphotography #kiteschool #kitetrip #kitekitekite #extremesports #snowsports #alpsoutdoorz
 We visited @serrechevalier specifically for the snowboarding offerings, Jim as an experienced snowboarder looking for off-piste powder rides and myself to learn the sport for the first time. - The awesome thing about Serre Chevalier is that you can do both within a stone’s throw of each other -- and the conditions are awesome for each. - Advanced riders can hit the snowparks, nail some virgin off-piste slopes like Jim and Joey are doing here, or take on the challenging red and black pistes. - Meanwhile, beginners have a decent selection of green and blue slopes to learn and progress on. I especially appreciated the extra-wide slopes in the Briancon part of the resort, which made the perfect training ground for my first turns. - FULL Serre Chevalier outdoor guide coming up on our blog real soon. Let us know if there’s any questions you’d like answered 😎 - - - #extremenomads - - - #serrechevalier #briançon #snowboarding #powder #freshpowder #offpiste #snowboarding🏂 #snowboardingseason #snowboardingtime #snowboardingday #snowboardingtrip #hautesalpes #feelthealps #serreche #powderhunting #winterwonderland #snowphotography #super_france #hello_france #igersfrance #igersadventure #ig_adventures #snowaddict #boardriders #dailystoke #alps #leshautesalpes
 Winter paragliding in #SerreChevalier 😍🗻🦅🇫🇷 - Certainly one of Serre Chevalier’s most extreme activities, paragliders are here making the most of the local conditions all year round -- weather provided. - There were dozens of mad-hatters flinging themselves off the mountaintops when we visited last week (even Jim had a crack at a tandem ride with the crew at @axesseparapente - But we were told by the local club that March brings the best flying conditions. - Local schools offer both paragliding instruction and tandem flights over the amazing scenery of the Hautes Alpes. Different variations are available, including spine-tingling speed flying experiences and the Serre Chevalier signature flight which involves taking off with your skis or snowboard! - Without a doubt, a once in a lifetime experience.
