The Modern Nomad is the psudonym for American hitchhiker and travel writer Patrick Falterman, who has been hitchhiking around Latin America since 2009.
Falterman currently maintains a web page entitled The Modern Nomad Hitchhikes the World, where he writes personal accounts of his hitchhiking, with a stated goal of "giving as many people as possible a better-informed view about who hitchhikers are, and what it [hitchhiking] really is, and to remove the negative stereotypes associated with it."
Falterman is a strong proponent of free travel, open borders, and world unity. During his wanderings he writes about the lifestyle of a traveler-by-occupation.
