Badges is one of the ways NomadMania celebrates travellers, which have existed since we began, but have now expanded.
One of our badges is the ‘tick’ next to your profile – that tells the world a traveller has been authenticated as a real person. Authentication is generally only possible if a traveller has met another authenticated traveller in ‘real’ life. However due to covid, we have made virtual authentication possible, and we invite anybody who would like this ‘tick’ to let us know and we will take you through the authentication process.
The other two badges refer to verification – that you have travelled where you say you have. The UN badge is for countries visited while the NM badge means you have been verified for regions. In general, travellers who claim more than 600 NM regions and more than 180 UN countries are eligible for verification, and those with more than 700 NM regions are required to be verified, at the very least for UN countries, if they want to keep their status.
In the photo below, looking to the right, you will also see the TBT (The Biggest Traveller) badges which are awarded to fully verified travellers across nearly all lists. Verification for this is by invitation only given the amount of work required for this; we have successfully verified 9 of the Top 11 on the TBT list.
