1) EVENTS TO ATTEND

CARNIVAL in RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL is one of the most extraordinary events I’ve ever attended. I interviewed Ranika Koneru from Cloud Connections on Episode 245 and she is organizing a small group trip next month to ensure you experience the best of Rio’s Carnival in 2024. If you want to immerse in Brazilian history, culture, and experience Carnival with an amazing group of likeminded people, this year’s trip is on February 15th-25th, 2024. You can get a $100 Discount for using the Code: MAVERICK. See the full itinerary and sign up for a discovery call to get your questions answered here.

2) TRAVEL APPS I USE

ROME2RIO allows you to enter your departure city and your desired arrival destination (anywhere in the world) and it will show you all of the ways to get there (flights, trains, busses, ferries, taxis, rental cars, and various combinations thereof), how long each route will take, and how much each route will cost. You can then pick either the cheapest route, the quickest route, the most comfortable route, or whatever your priority is, AND…it then allows you to click through and buy the tickets for the flight, train, bus, or whatever you’ve chosen. Download it on Apple or Android.

3) WHAT TO READ

THE BOOK OF ICHIGO ICHIE: THE ART OF MAKING THE MOST OF EVERY MOMENT, THE JAPANESE WAY. This book taught me how to use all five senses to anchor myself in the present, appreciate the beauty of the fleeting, be alert to the magic of coincidences, and realize that every moment happens only once. These concepts have a heightened importance in an itinerant lifestyle where we are constantly experiencing new and extraordinary environments, so this book is especially valuable for digital nomads. You can buy it 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 Delia Colantuono about growing up in Italy and how the development of her political consciousness was intertwined with her travels. She talks about her journey as a solo-female traveler and reflects on over-touristification, digital nomad gentrification, and how we can be better allies with marginalized groups as we travel. She also gives tips on how we can be more environmentally sustainable, socially conscious, and thoughtful as we move through the world. Listen to the episode on your favorite platform here.
