Love this energy!! Don't be a stranger—our main motivation for writing this newsletter is the idea Eman and I might get to discuss the stuff we're reading with cool people on the internet 🤓
How can we help you Lauren? I use async video app MarcoPolo in small circles of 6-9 for daily 10 min interaction. How about test group among Borderless readers. Also, I suggest word Terran instead of digital nomad
Honestly, I can't remember how I found this little corner of the internet. I think I may have been aware of it through SafetyWing before Substack, but I'm not sure.
Me?
Born in Santiago de Chile. Took my first steps in Antwerp. Raised in British Columbia. And the moment I felt a deep sense of home in Vancouver, Canada, I ended up in Spain.
To me, being borderless is not just about geography. It’s about salir de las fronteras que impone tu mente. Borderless thinking is about understanding cultural influences, cognitive biases, and power structures so that you can live unbound by them. That’s what I write about in all my work.
Sometimes, I have a bit of an anti-online community sentiment like Sam Kriss when it comes to Substack. I don't want to spend hours commenting and reading comments. But, in the case of borderless thinkers, it’s a bit different. I'm not looking for a place where we pat each other’s backs, but I do want to meet people and collaborate on projects.
I know you moved to Substack. Currently, I'm more interested in decentralized networks like Ghost and Fediverse because I think that aligns more with borderless online spaces, but maybe I'm wrong. I'm still here because I want to learn more from everyone.
Welcome Nolan! I really love that phrase "salir de las fronteras que impone tu mente" - for people who want a translation, it's beautiful - the mental shift is often harder than the physical moves.
I'm also really interested in your take on decentralized networks vs. centralized platforms for borderless communities. Would love to hear more about what you're building or thinking about in that space (I'm personally on Farcaster and have dabbled in DeSo over the years). I concur, we're looking for real exchange of ideas and collaborations, not more echo chambers
I'm happy to be hear, Annissa! I'll write more about decentralized networks and how they relate to global citizenship in the future. Right now, I'm exploring how people who live between cultures, languages, and states already operate like a decentralized network: no single node fully contains them. Our strength comes from and adaptability — if one system fails (visa, language, algorithm), we route around it. There's a lot more to say about this, but that's one connection. I also think decentralized networks distribute power more evenly, which is important for global citizens to think about.
I still need to learn more about Farcaster and DeSo! I'll look into it. Thank you so much.
You're welcome & yes please to your piece! Farcaster is wonderful, very forward thinking and community curated. I think you're going to like their "frames" feature :) Do feel free to ping me if you find any new Decentralised social platforms - I'm all for being a first mover
I’m a serial entrepreneur in Washington DC. Been to 75 countries. Goal

Really interesting, keep up the good work.
Excited to join the new home of borderless 🌎
YES, I’ve been dreaming of this since I was born!
