Hello World Travelers,
Our final meeting of 2024 is on Saturday, Dec. 7, at 12 noon at the Hive offices — 950 Dupont St. Suite 300 in downtown Toronto.
Again, for those members who reside outside the southern Ontario region, we will be offering a virtual meeting option with a Zoom call scheduled for a 12:30 p.m. start.
I look forward to receiving your RSVPs. Please let me know if you would like to attend in person or via Zoom. I will send out a link for the meeting.
TCC Canada’s Dr. Kevin Bryan, who has traveled extensively overland in Africa, will be our featured speaker!
Remote Africa, Dakar to Congo
West Africa has long been among the most challenging regions to travel overland in, but it’s not as daunting as you might think. We’ll run down the coast from Saint Louis, Senegal, to Congo, covering the best Sahelian architecture, traditional masked dances, festivals, and forests, with full logistical info.
Also, as many of you know, the location for the 2026 TCC Global meeting is now official: Istanbul, Turkey! Following the successful meetings in Malta in 2022 and The Azores in 2024, Istanbul will be an incredible event to for TCC members to attend. Details to follow.
And … big TCC Canada news to share: a very special 2025 featured speaker has been confirmed. I am thrilled to announce that Mr. Bruce Poon Tip, Founder of G Adventures, the world’s largest small group adventure travel company with 28 offices worldwide, will join us for our meeting on April 26, 2025 . G Adventures host over 200,000 travelers per year, offer more than 750 tours and travel to more than 100 countries on seven continents.
