About us

Local Nomad is an outdoor-guiding project of two local guides – Igor and Richard. Both of us love Košice and Eastern Slovakia and we would like to pass this passion to other people: tourists, foreign students, delegations or even local people who would like to know more about the place where they live.
We are telling local stories, historical facts, poetic observations and cultural specifics – typical for Slovak people. We would like foreigners to understand where they are and what is going on here.
