TIME: The Dream of an ‘Internet Country’ That Would Let You Work From Anywhere

What if anyone, not just people from countries with strong passports, could live the digital nomad lifestyle? Check out my feature about Plumia, a proposed global passport, on TIME.com here.

On February 20, 1943, a Purépecha farmer was working his cornfields when the ground beneath him began to shake. Then, sparks and ash spewed out the ground and the farmer ran for his life. Over 9 years, the youngest volcano in the Americas arose from the ground and completely consumed two towns in lava and ash. All that remains is a stone church in a bed of jet-black lava rock. Fortunately, all the villagers escaped.
