1) DOPE TRAVEL COMMUNITIES

WANDER WOMXN. I interviewed Janna Zinzi (aka “Jaz”) on Episode #270 who co-founded Wander Womxn as a travel community, guide and booking agency especially for women, femmes and nonbinary folks of color. It’s an inclusive, multi-cultural, inter-sectional space that offers travel tips and curates travel experiences that reflect the interests and safety needs of people who represent the full breadth of the gender and sexuality spectrum.

2) TRAVEL GEAR I USE

Icebreaker Merino Wool Long Sleeve Base/Mid Layer. Layering and versatility are the key to stylish minimalist packing. I always pack a long sleeve base/mid layer shirt that looks great on its own, for either a casual day or an evening out. But, I can also use it for layering in cold weather, or on the ski slopes. And, Merino wool is temperature regulating, which keeps you warmer when it is cold outside and cooler when it is warm outside. It’s also non-itch and anti-microbial so it does not retain odor! I’m rocking it here on the Glacier Express in Switzerland. It comes in both mens and womens. Check out the Icebreaker Merino Long Sleeve Base/Mid Layer and All my Travel Gear Here.

3) WHAT TO READ

How to Live Free in a Dangerous World: A Decolonial Memoir by Shayla Lawson is an extraordinary travel memoir that I’ve been recommending all my friends read immediately. Written with exquisite prose, it will grab you on page 1, draw you into its world, and take you on an incredible journey that will leave you thinking about the book long after you finish it. Having traveled to 50+ countries, Shayla’s vivid travel stories of experiencing the world through the lens of being Black, Femme, Nonbinary, and Disabled leads to uniquely profound insights on race, femininity, pronoun usage, privilege, solidarity, decolonizing ourselves, seeking liberation in the world, and the emotional inner journey towards self love. It’s available anywhere books are sold or listen to the audio book with a free trial of Audible here.

Did you Listen to Last Week’s Episode of The Maverick Show?

Last week I interviewed Dianni Hall over a bottle of wine. She reflects on her journey embracing her Guatemalan and Puerto Rican heritage, as well as her Queer identity. She explains how her journey as a full-time solo world traveler began in India and led her to traveling across Vietnam by motorcycle, living in Spain, and sailing the Greek Islands. Dianni also talks about the magical experience of attending the largest LGBTQIA+ Pride Celebration in the world in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Listen to the episode on your favorite platform here.
