Borders are everywhere: physical, cultural, digital. They shape who we are and how we move through the world. For some, crossing them is routine. For others, it’s a privilege. And for those of us who’ve lived between worlds, borders are a constant presence—lines we navigate, question, and sometimes try to redraw.
Global Natives is a newsletter for people who feel at home everywhere and nowhere. For the border-walkers and in-betweeners. For those curious about how we live, work, and connect across distance, and how we might do it differently.
Here, we explore the edges of culture, technology, and belonging. From rethinking institutions for the internet generation to building deeper relationships across geographies, this is a space for big questions and honest reflections.
NEC's view
Lauren Razavi has been writing about these topics for a long time, and her perspective carries the weight of both research and lived experience.
Lauren is also the director of Plumia, SafetyWing’s non-profit think tank exploring the future of global mobility, and the editor-in-chief of Borderless, which we also recommend.
For us, her work is valuable not only for its clarity but for how it situates nomadic life within broader conversations about infrastructure, citizenship, and belonging.
