1) EVENTS TO ATTEND

Loy Krathong and Yi Peng Lantern Festival in Chiang Mai, Thailand. On Episode #245 of The Maverick Show I interviewed Ranika Koneru from Cloud Connections who is offering you a special discounted rate on her upcoming small group trip to Thailand (November 23-December 3rd, 2023) where you will get to connect with locals, participate in this special festival, and release your own lantern, which is setting free not just a physical object but the weight of worries and doubts that may have held you back. Get all the details here and mention “Maverick” for your $100 discount.

2) DESTINATIONS

Petra is a historic and archaeological city in southern Jordan with mind-blowing rock-cut architecture. Inhabited since pre-historic times, the ancient city is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was voted one of the 7 New Wonders of the World. UNESCO has described Petra as “one of the most precious cultural properties of man’s cultural heritage”. The Middle East is one of my favorite regions, and Petra is a must-see destination.

3) ORGANIZATIONS TO SUPPORT

Jewish Voice For Peace (JVP) is organizing non-violent direct actions around the U.S. to demand an immediate ceasefire and an end to the genocide in Palestine. Hundreds of Jewish Americans, including Rabbis, are getting arrested in some of the largest mass civil disobedience actions seen in the U.S. in decades–from the U.S. Capitol to Grand Central Station in New York City (pictured here). They also ran a full page ad in the New York Times that read “Jews Say Stop Genocide of Palestinians”. You can follow JVP on Instagram here and on other social media platforms as well. Learn more about JVP and donate money to support their work via their website here.

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

Last week I interviewed Tayo Rockson who talked about growing up in Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Sweden, Vietnam and the U.S., all by the age of 18. He shares tips on developing cultural fluency and explains the value of intentionally putting yourself in environments where you are a minority. He also explains the neo-colonial dynamics of the travel and tourism industry, and how to make ethical travel decisions. Listen to the episode on your favorite platform here.
