Travel enthusiasts will be inspired by Feehan, an award-winning travel writer who ditched a successful law career to share his explorations. “There are a couple of ways to experience ‘the real flavour’ of a country,” Feehan stated. “You can go first class, but when you ‘buy it’ you’ll only see a sanitized version of the world. Alternatively, you can wander out into the streets solo and really get immersed.”

Interisano, another community favorite, highlighted the importance of shared experiences. “If there’s one thing we like to accumulate, it’s memories and experiences. That’s why, 15 years ago Janet and I took a year off work and travelled around the world.”

This series not only promises to inform but also to engage and inspire community members. As travel continues to be a source of joy and connection, these presentations serve as a reminder of the world’s wonders.
