Salir de las fronteras que impone tu mente.
Who is Born Without Borders for?
Anyone caught between cultures or ready to step outside their comfort zone with a quest. It’s for those who feel as inescapably foreign as I do.
What do you get for subscribing?
Travel Therapy. You’ll learn about culture-bound mental illnesses and how to get the most out of your travel experiences. Moreover, I’m here to help you discover or clarify your next quest. Too often, complacency and comfort cause depression. We must step outside our comfort zone to grow and connect to the greatest truth—change. That growth often starts with acknowledging our dark side instead of hiding from it. It begins with connecting that pain to a greater purpose.
Joder tío, I’m starting to sound like the worst people of all—life coaches. I’m not going to pretend I have all the answers, but I do live my life like I craft my writing. And because of that, I can help you turn your journeys into engaging stories.
Language learning tips. Yes, I work as an online ESL teacher, but this section is mostly for laughing at my expense with Errores de un guiri.
Advice on how to stay fit and motivated on the road. Here’s where I put my fitness addiction and vanity to good use.
A community for those whose roots aren't tied down to geography. The place where you're born shouldn't define who you can become.

At the end of every journey, I write a book. You can find my first one, Living with the In-Laws, on Amazon. Paid subscribers get a free Kindle or PDF edition of my next book. Founding members get a signed paperback.
Cool Cool, but who are you?
I’m Nolan, a man of no land. I'm a writer, educator, guiri, actor, older brother, ocean lover, irritable cabron, hot sauce enthusiast, third culture kid fascinated by cultural psychology—but mostly, I'm inescapably foreign. I was born in Santiago de Chile, took my first steps in Antwerp, Belgium, and grew up in British Columbia, Canada. And the moment I felt a deep sense of home in Vancouver, Canada, I ended up in Spain.
