Timothy Allen talks with Lauren Razavi.

Lauren is a technologist, political scientist, and global citizen focused on the future of work, global mobility, and digital nomadism. As Executive Director of Plumia, she leads efforts to build a global standard for nomad visas and reimagine the infrastructure that enables cross-border living.

In this episode, Lauren, shares her insights on the evolving landscape of global mobility rights and the burgeoning digital nomad movement. As a digital nomad herself, she discusses her journey through the complexities of international travel and the implications of COVID-19 on mobility rights. The conversation delves into the concept of network states and the idea of building a country on the Internet, exploring how Plumia aims to unlock global mobility rights for individuals worldwide.

We also discuss the rise of digital nomad visas, the importance of defining what it means to be a digital nomad, and the cultural dynamics of popular nomadic destinations like Bali and Malaysia, examining the impacts of tourism and nomadism on local communities.

Enjoy the conversation.
