About Tanja Maier
Do you feel the weight of the world?
If you wake up every morning with existential dread about the state of the world and carry that around with you all day, every day, this newsletter is for you. If you are a happy person who generally thinks anything is possible and things are going swimmingly, you probably won’t enjoy my ramblings.
I was born in 1976 in Toronto to a Canadian mother and Yugoslav father. In the early 1980s, we moved to Scottsdale, Arizona, where I grew up, attending public school and spending most of my free time in the swimming pool. I graduated in 1998 from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service, where I majored in International Economics and learned to speak Russian.
