Safir Jamal, originally from Toronto, Canada, is the visionary founder and CEO of Global Nomad Pass, a platform that rewards digital nomads with exclusive discounts at local, independent establishments across more than 25 cities.

Why It Matters
Safir is a vocal advocate for intentional and impactful travel. On the Nomad Summit Podcast Episode 07, “Banitsa, Bansko & the Bigger Picture,” he discusses how nomads can actively contribute to local communities—choosing independent cafés over chains, sharing authentic experiences, and investing economically in the places they visit. Under his leadership, Global Nomad Pass also partners with tourism boards—such as Marketing Greece—to widen its reach and deepen its community impact
