49. WHY 2+ MILLION PEOPLE ARE DISPLACED IN MYANMAR

Nov 7, 2024

I went on an 8 country tour this year (Argentina, Brazil, Spain, Nepal, Bhutan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan). 
When I was in Thailand, I was brought face to face with the severity of the civil war in Myanmar. 
There are between 2-3 million people displaced as a result. Many of them, fled to Thailand where I was fortunate to meet them. 
One day as I was exploring the island, I had an incredibly kind waiter. He was 19. 
He opened up about losing many of his friends, having to leave his family, and how he's working hard to build a future his country has stripped away. 
I so badly wanted to share his story with you all, so we sat down and recorded the next day. 
Please enjoy this important conversation with the man from Myanmar.
