018 - Pontus & Ulrika Lindblom: Buying Property in a Free City, Flag Theory & Travel

This is Episode 18 of the Free Cities Podcast, and it is also the penultimate show from the series of conversations I had in Prague. I am in Warsaw for the next seven days, recording interviews that you will be listening to over the next two months on the Free Cities Podcast. I can report that I am only three episodes in, and I have to say that my mind has been blown already on two different occasions, so I am really looking forward to sharing these conversations with you over the coming weeks. Today on the show, I am talking with a Swedish couple by the name of Pontus and Ulrika Lindblom. Pontus and Ulrika are a family with a fascinating story...a journey around the world searching for liberty that has led them to the point of purchasing a property in Próspera on the island of Roatán in Honduras. I won't give too much away here, but needless to say, they have an exceptionally 21st-century story that revolves around, amongst other things, digital nomadism, flag theory, and Bitcoin. If living in a Free City project is something you've thought about yourself, then today's guests should be able to offer you a wealth of first-hand experiences of the trials and tribulations faced by a freedom-loving family looking for the best way to navigate the idiosyncrasies of the times we are living in. It was great to speak with them both. I very much appreciate people who are actually 'walking the walk' in this world. I sincerely hope they can offer some of you the inspiration to get out there and create the change you want to see in the world. Enjoy the conversation.
