Johannes Voelkner joins Matt from Bangkok and starts off talking about what he loves about Bangkok and how it has changed since he started going there 20 years ago.  He also shares what he loves about the Continent of Africa and the role it has played in his digital nomad journey. Johannes then gives his recommendations for digital nomads who want to spend time in his home country of Germany.  Next, he talks about how he has built a global community of digital nomads through organizing 12 Nomad Cruises, as well as meetups at various cities around the world in between. Johannes then explains the itinerary for the upcoming Nomad Cruise, including pre-embarkation plans in the Canary Islands, programming on the boat, and post-cruise plans in Brazil for the group, including the legendary white party on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro for New Year’s Eve.  He also offers Maverick Show listeners a $100 Discount!  Johannes then reflects on his life of long term world travel, including how he maintains relationships with friends and family back home, and what travel means to him today.  He also offers his thoughts on over-tourism, digital nomad gentrification, and making responsible travel decisions.  FULL SHOW NOTES AVAILABLE AT: www.TheMaverickShow.com
