Our Story

"Welcome to Earthbound Nomad, where adventure meets style. We are your one-stop shop for premium gear that blends functionality with the spirit of exploration. Whether you're setting off on a weekend hike with your pup, exploring hidden corners of the world, or unwinding with a glass of wine after a long day, we’ve got what you need. Our collection spans from high-quality outdoor gear and travel essentials to clothing, art, and unique finds that fuel your creativity. Every product is intentionally chosen to inspire, support, and accompany you on your next adventure—whatever it may be."

  My name is Bernardo Michel-Luhrs, and I created the brand "Earthbound Nomad" as a way of channeling my various interests and business ideas into one hybrid shop. From the arts, music, wine, travel, and an overall bohemian lifestyle, the brand is meant to encapsulate the nature of my life and give others with similar passions and interests a way to further connect with their adventurous spirit. Having spent much of my life outdoors, and with an appreciation for the different kinds of plants, animals, and people that inhabit our world, one of the biggest and most foundational values for Earthbound Nomad (and its other affiliated brands) is to grow as sustainably, ethically, and consciously as possible.

 

Starting this brand without the support of business loans or financing, I aim to grow Earthbound Nomad as organically as I can, reinvesting profits back into the business, with a portion going as proceeds to a variety of different nonprofits centered around making this world a better place (whether it be through environmental conservation, programs to end world hunger, or treatment for mental health).

As Earthbound Nomad grows, we aim to offer our own exclusive line of products and one-of-a-kind items you won’t find anywhere else. We envision expanding into physical locations where you can fully experience our unique take on wine tasting, interactive art galleries, music and event spaces, and more. We also plan to create opportunities for involvement through affiliate marketing, product submissions, and creative endeavors like branding and design. Ultimately, our goal is to craft our own 'third spaces'—places that make adventure accessible to all while delivering unforgettable experiences for explorers from all walks of life!
