WorldNomads.com is a website that provides international travel insurance and travel safety services for people from 151 countries. Customers can buy the insurance after they have already left home and are already away travelling. The company is the recommended travel insurance partner of Lonely Planet.
In 2004, the company added travel blogs and a series of iPod phrase books to teach elementary travel phrases in several languages to members. In 2005, following the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, World Nomads launched an experimental travel philanthropy program that they called Footprints, which has since developed into the Footprints network and as of December 2008 raised over $500,000 for community projects in the developing world.
In 2006, it jointly established travel scholarships with National Geographic.
