2) TRAVEL GEAR I USE

THE RIGHT LAUNDRY BAG is essential for long-term world travel. It allows you to carry your laundry to the laundromat (or laundry room in your building) and, if you have dirty clothes on a travel day, it allows you to separate them in your luggage. The Laundry Bag I use is very sturdy so it won’t rip or break, super-light and compressible so it won’t take up room in my luggage, and it has a cool travel-themed design…which can sometimes start conversations at the laundromat! 🙂 Check out the laundry bag I use, and all my travel gear here.

3) DESTINATIONS

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA is one of my favorite cities in the world. In addition to the rich and important political history, if you want an extraordinary urban experience with some of the best fashion, street art, and nightlife on the Continent, JoBurg is the spot! To see the city with locals that will show you the ‘real’ JoBurg, link up with my homie Tye who runs “Honest Travel Experiences” here.

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

Last week I interviewed Janna Zinzi who talks about growing up in New York during the golden era of hip hop, the role of dance in her life, and the history and significance of BIPOC women in burlesque. She then explains how she started traveling the world and telling Black stories from Haiti to Costa Rica. She reflects whether BIPOC travelers can be colonizers too, and offers tips on how we can all be better allies as we move through the world and create content about our travels. Finally, she talks about co-founding WanderWomxn for BIPOC women and gender expansive travelers. Listen to the episode on your favorite platform here.
