54. The Maverick Show: The World’s Largest Pride Parade, Shaving Your Head in India, and Riding a Motorcycle Across Vietnam
08/28/24 • 47 min
Welcome back to another episode of the While She's Away Podcast! This week I'm resharing an episode where I guested on The Maverick Show with Matt Bowles.
The Maverick Show is all about real, in-depth chats with some of the most interesting world travelers, digital nomads, and location-independent entrepreneurs. Matt Bowles travels the globe full-time, meeting fascinating people, uncovering stories of their wildest adventures, and breaking down the skills, tactics, and strategies they use to build remote businesses and design their own lifestyles.
I joined Matt for an afternoon wine sesh, and we started talking about my parents' immigrant experience. I reflected on my own journey of embracing my Guatemalan and Puerto Rican heritage, as well as my journey as a queer person. I talked about my journey traveling across Vietnam by motorcycle, living in Spain, and sailing the Greek Islands. I shared the magical experience of attending the largest LGBTQIA+ Pride Celebration in the world in São Paulo, Brazil.
