In-Person 

Starting in 2013, the National Geographic site has offered dispatches from Paul Salopek, who had set a goal of walking Out of Eden (Ethiopia) 24,000 miles to the tip of South America.  As of this writing, he is in China, but he has already traipsed across 17 countries. His focal points vary from anthropology to environment to human discovery and inventions.

This presentation will focus on themes and adventures along the way. Paul is an awesome writer, and his thoughts and encounters (with humans and animals) are insightful. He calls this “slow journalism” and the photos will be worth our “trek.”
