Born Without Borders: Live Unbound
I’m Nolan — a man of no land.
Writer, English teacher, cultural consultant, fitness freak, guiri, actor, older brother, ocean lover, irritable cabrón, and a third culture kid obsessed with cultural psychology — but mostly, I’m inescapably foreign.
Born in Santiago de Chile. Took my first steps in Antwerp. Raised in British Columbia. And the moment I felt a deep sense of home in Vancouver, Canada, I ended up in Spain.
I created Born Without Borders for people who, like me, live between systems, identities, and languages. If you’ve ever felt like a linguistic misfit, a cultural outsider, or a bureaucratic punching bag, you’re in the right place.
Here’s what I do:
I write.
Essays, stories, and poetry about language, psychology, health, and politics—for people who want to live unbound from borders, biases, and systemic bs.
I coach.
I help people:
- Communicate across cultures
- Move to Spain & Canada without the sugarcoated lies
- Fitness for nomads & neurodivergent clients
I translate cultures.
Not just words. Real human systems. I help people see across cultural lenses and connect meaningfully — as a teacher, as a consultant, and as a guy who would rather talk to you than continue this sales pitch.

My teaching style
We learn languages to communicate, and we communicate to connect, so why do so many people leave an academy unable to give presentations, send emails, and tell jokes?
Many teachers lack the cultural, psychological, and business expertise to prepare you beyond the exam world. While I use CEFR and Cambridge materials to gauge levels, my lessons adapt to your needs and how English evolves across cultures. I’ve helped nearly 100 students pass exams, but if your sole goal is a certificate, I’m not the teacher for you. I’m here to create connections and experiences.
Language learning isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some prefer rules first, while others learn naturally through conversation. A great teacher tailors methods to fit you. My approach draws from a degree in English and psychology (UBC), advanced TEFL certifications, and years of teaching students from 30+ countries.
Beyond teaching, my experience managing global marketing campaigns and researching cultural competence ensures your English works across cultural contexts. I don’t just teach language—I help you live it.
