Doug Lansky, an author and nationally syndicated travel columnist, will present “The 60 Minute World Travel Survival Course” at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in Heckman Auditorium.
Lansky has been in more than 100 countries, filled five passports and learned four languages. During his 10 years journeying, he's traversed by bike, camel, gondola, kayak and many other forms of transportation.
Lansky’s lecture combines full-screen color images with funny anecdotes. Drawing on his experiences, he gives his advice on traveling – including that on finding jobs and avoiding tourist traps. His past trips include hunting with Jaguar Indians in Peru, riding a horse from Ecuador to Columbia, sailing down the Nile and traveling on a cargo ship on the Amazon River.
Lansky has written books such as “Last Trout in Venice” and “Rough Guide to Traveling Around the World,” and he has hosted a documentary for the Travel Channel/Discovery Channel.
Hansen Leadership Program is offering the opportunity for students to have dinner with Lansky at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Students who are interested can contact HLP Associate Director Rachel Schaefer to reserve a spot or for more information.
