Geography, history and geopolitics. 

Borderlines is where ‘Prisoners of Geography’ meets travel blogging. This is Travel Tramp’s geopolitical column.

Learn how geography, politics and history shape the world around, as we answer deep travel questions from the road.

What makes a country a country? What’s the difference between a micronation and a microstate? Why did Transnistria declare independence from Moldova? 

You can find answers to all these questions and more as I build a database of the world’s cartographic curiosities and geopolitical oddities.
