I publish essays on borderless living in both written and audio formats via my Substack newsletter, Global Natives, which is read by thousands of people around the world.

Part travel writing and part big ideas, regular themes include digital nomads, remote work, the future of cities, globalisation, global citizenship, creativity, subcultures, internet culture, identity and belonging:

Inside the Room: My Journey to the UN 🏛

PAID SUBSCRIBERS ONLY

You’ve followed my work, my ideas, and my stories about borderless living. Now, I’m taking you somewhere I’ve never been before—inside the room where the future of global mobility is being shaped.

This three-part, behind-the-scenes series pulls back the curtain on my experience speaking at the UN and advocating for countries to improve digital nomad visas.

It’s not just about appearing on stage. It’s about all of it: the messy prep, the nerves, the surreal feeling of stepping into a space that represents the nation-state system I’ve spent years questioning. What it means to carry an idea this big into the halls of power, and what comes next when the talk is over and the real work begins.

What Paid Subscribers Get:

• Backstage Access: Step inside my process—how I prepare, what it feels like, what goes wrong, and the moments that make it all worth it.
• The Real Story: The stakes beyond the speech itself—my thoughts on the contradictions, responsibility and value of bringing borderless life into one of the world’s most traditional institutions.
• Movement in Motion: Follow the chaotic, unpredictable work of taking policy from concept to reality. You’ll see it unfold as it happens—not months later when it’s polished and public.
• Intimate Connection: This is me—unfiltered and in the moment, navigating an unconventional life. If you’ve followed my journey, met me, or just been curious about how I do what I do, this is where it all comes together.
