| A Digital Country on the Internet is Coming Soon (Here's What You Need To Know) | 06 août 2024 | 01:37:59 | |
How would you like to get access to a global social safety net on the internet, complete with a “digital country”, with its own passport, tax system, retirement pension, healthcare, and visa access to foreign countries?
The co-founders of SafetyWing have big plans, including Plumia, an internet country founded on who you are and what you believe, rather than where you’re from.
Plumia’s current focus is unlocking borders and expanding global mobility rights to as many people as possible. First up is the Nomad Border Pass, which will provide visa-free travel for up to 10+ countries (as early as 2025).
Then, the Plumia digital passport is on the way, with an anticipated launch date of 2032.
In this episode of the Traveling with Kristin podcast, Kristin Wilson chats with the Executive Director of Plumia, Lauren Razavi, to tell us all about their plan. Lauren is a technologist, political scientist, and global citizen who’s been working remotely since 2010 and nomading since 2013.
Tune in to learn about the new digital country that’s taking the internet by storm, and how you can be a part of it right now!

| The One Thing 97% of Expats Don't Do | 04 juin 2024 | 00:36:50 | |
The number of U.S. expats living abroad is equivalent to being the 11th-largest state in the country. But barely 4% of us turn out to vote! Expats have the lowest voter turnout of any demographic in the United States - lower than high school students - and the same phenomena is probably happening in every country. If you're living outside of your home country right now (or planning to move abroad someday), this episode is a must-listen! Tune in to hear from Nicole Greenfield, aka The Nomad Activist, a digital nomad and political activist who reached out to Kristin to speak about this topic and how we can change it. Your vote matters. If every American expat voted, we would easily change the outcomes of current and future elections. Vote absentee, vote early, and spread the word to your expat friends! Let’s make a change!

I first started off by watching Kristin's youtube videos and later discovered the podcast.
