Hi, I'm Lauren 👋
I'm a writer, strategist and nomad with a passion for people and ideas. I've been a remote worker and creative freelancer for 10 years with stints in the music, media and software industries.
I've visited more than 40 countries and published upwards of 250 stories so far. My work appears in media titles like Wired, The Guardian, Bloomberg and VICE.
What is Counterflows?
Every Monday, I send out an email full of stories, ideas, tools and resources for curious people around the world. I share offbeat news and practical content about the themes of distributed work, creativity and global living.
I include occasional updates about my own projects, but the focus is on curation and commentary on trends like work from anywhere, digital nomad visas, global culture, the creator economy, subscription living, and knowledge cities.
