Hello world! I’m a former magazine editor and the author of two nonfiction books: THE HIDDEN GLOBE (2024), on unusual and frontier jurisdictions, and THE COSMOPOLITES (2015), on citizenship, statelessness, and the global market for passports.
This newsletter explores the weird side of globalization and the spaces above, beneath and between nations. But I’m interested in many other things, including expatriate culture, outer space exploration, cooking, international organizations, traveling to non-obvious places (especially for work), reading fiction, and running but only when the weather is good.
I was raised in Geneva, Switzerland and have lived in New York since 2004. You can find me on the usual social networks @atossaaraxia.
Don’t hesitate to join the reader chat or get in touch by sending me a message.
