Kristin, you practically said it: the passport is a system of imprisonment. Plumia is a good idea, but I don’t think it will be allowed to work. We will see. Thanks for the info.

While I love the idea, there is no way rich countries will make it easy for people from developing countries to get such a visa. Most Americans don't meet the criteria I had to meet to gain admission so something like this is likely to have the same barriers. There is just too high of an incentive for people from poor countries to immigrate to rich countries. Source: I am one of them!

There were passports or similar functioning documents since before medieval times. The name itself comes from the Italian 'passa porto,' to pass the harbor. Harbors were open to anyone back then, but you needed a pass to go beyond the city gates. The 1920 Paris conference was basically a convention to establish the present booklet form, not the need for one. I don't think it will gain much momentum past a few isolated countries. Can't imagine the Schengen area accepting it with all its many intricate cross-country agreements. A cute idea, but wholly impracticable. Whoes embassy are you going to go to if you need assistance, or worse, if you get into legal trouble in a foreign land?

The nomad border pass seems like a good first step. I don't see why attractive countries that control their borders will be convinced to accept a passport that isn't backed by another country though.

I have a US passport so I can get to most of the countries I want to visit easily. My girlfriend has a Philippines Passport that is very weak outside of SE Asia. An example is she cannot get a visa to visit the US because she does not own property or even a car. It is very much a class system at this point so unless you are financially well off as a Philippines citizen you are discriminated against.

The pain of having a weak passport is endless This Plumia thing will be a game changer for Us

Nomad Border Pass is a great idea. Unfortunately the most important information is missing on the landing page .. namely which 10+ countries are/will be covered by the Nomad Border Pass

Great post Kristin! Exciting times ahead....

This is a fascinating venture. Timely as well. I will be keeping my eye on Safety Wing & Plumia. Thanks for the info Kristin.

Intriguing Kristin! Please keep us up to date on this.

Awesome scoop, Kristin.Thanks. I'm 100% on board with this. Will be looking into it today.

Wow! Yours is one of the most professional and informative videos on any subject I've seen. On top of that, the depth of how you contextualized the topic of this video has expanded my horizon of what is possible to pursue in this strange reality we find ourselves in. Subscribed! Thank you.

I love this idea! My daughter-in-law told me some time ago that being Icelandic was so privileged - I had never thought about it that way -especially when I had moved away from Iceland and settled in Denmark simply because I liked it better…. But now I get what she meant. She’s from Poland and is not able to move for example to a Nordic country just because she wants to, unless she already has a job or is going to school. In my mind we are all citizens of this earth and should have the ability to live and work where we want to.

So the actual Plumia passport is 8 years away (assuming everything goes as planned). I have so many questions and quite a few doubts. I just don't see Canada and the US or the EU openly allowing people from the global south to migrate north. The EU is even making Americans get visas starting next year.

I actually was watching a geography related Youtube channel that was trying to determine how many countries there are and the case of unofficial countries came up. One of the ones listed was a digital country, which got me thinking, about starting one of my own and what that would take? This is fascinating and very appealing.

I'm about 60% of the way through this video. I had to pause it so that I could make the following comment, "Kristin, you are the best. I love your presentation style and informative approach. Thank you for making DN content that has value!"

Nomad Border Pass with Plumia will be a game changer for all of us

I will keep an eye on your channel for more of these!

I love this idea! Thanks so much for sharing!
