Welcome to Borderless!

The newsletter for global citizens.

Hey, it’s Lauren Razavi here, Editor-in-Chief of Borderless and Executive Director of Plumia—the team and project behind this newsletter.

This time last year, Borderless had 2,000 readers. By the end of 2024, more than 75,000 of you had invited us into your inboxes! Every week, thousands of readers—nomads, remote workers, expats, third culture kids, dreamers, thinkers, and builders —compete in our maps game, answer our polls, and email us about the stories we curate.

As the newsletter grew, we started to wonder: How can we harness this energy? How can we create a space where readers can connect with us, but also with each other? And what would make that space not just fun, but valuable too?

That brings me to today’s update: Borderless has moved to Substack. We see this as more than just a platform shift—it’s the beginning of an exciting new chapter.

We want to turn this newsletter and community into a movement for global citizens. We believe there is immense power and potential in representing the collective voice of our readers. After all, we’re all part of the same internet and the same world. By coming together and sharing our ideas, experiences, and ambitions, we have a chance to make them both work better.

In the weeks ahead, we’ll share more about our plans and how you can get involved.

🗣️ For now, we’d love for you to tell us a little about yourself in the comments. What does being “borderless” mean to you? How did you find your way to our little corner of the internet? What would make this space meaningful for you?
