Meet Nomad Santa

Where Every Journey Tells a Story—and Reminds Us It's a Small World After All

They call me Nomad Santa. Not because I hand out presents (though I’ve been known to share a coffee or a story), but because I wander—airport to airport, city to city, country to country. And yes, I’ve got the beard.

Along the way, I’ve collected moments—quiet, funny, unexpected, and sometimes unforgettable. A sleepy child mistaking me for Santa in a Dublin lounge. A stranger’s kindness at 35,000 feet. A hard choice softened by a shared smile.

This is a collection of those reflections.
Stories from the road, glimpses of humanity, and reminders that wherever we land, it’s a small world—and we’re all neighbors.
