Sharing Your Bearings: Travel with Purpose
About this event
Presented by Jeff Blumenfeld
"My experience as a voluntourist taught me that voluntourism doesn't take a particular outdoor skill - just plenty of sweat and the desire to see the world and leave it a better place," states Jeff Blumenfeld.
Jeff will take us on a journey during his talk, and share his volunteer work that has taken him from Nepal to Antarctica to the corners of America. His experiences have led to the creation of a new book entitled, "Travel with Purpose - A Field Guide to Voluntourism."
What is "voluntourism?" The Oxford Dictionary describes it as a form of tourism in which travelers participate in voluntary work, typically for a charity. Jeff, who chairs the Rocky Mountain chapter of New York-based The Explorers Club, and is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, will share his personal experiences, as well as describe how easy and fulfilling it is to incorporate volunteering into most any travel plans.
Please join us for this inspiring talk!
