Hello World Travelers,
A warm thank you to Dr. Kevin Bryan, who shared his wonderful presentation:
“Remote Africa, Dakar to Congo West Africa Overland”
Dr. Kevin took us through some amazing highlights of his trips, including the Ouidah Voodoo Festival, seeing mandrills in Gabon forest, incredible beaches in Principe, mountain gorillas in DRC/Uganda and Rwanda, the art scene in Dakar, the mountains of Santa Antao and Cape Verde, Tata Somba in Togo and Benin, Mali historic sites, Casamance kora music events and much more. Please reach out to me if you would like a copy of Kevin’s presentation.
Congrats to longtime TCC Canada members Steve and Wendy Johnston for visiting their 175th TCC destination recently. Well done!
The second ever Extraordinary Travel Festival took place Nov. 15-17 in Bangkok, which attracted some of the world’s most accomplished travelers including over 20 from TCC. During the conference, 27 attendees who have been to all 193 United Nations countries assembled on stage. Incredible.
