Going to Extremes: An Adventure Travel Presentation (VIRTUAL)

Tuesday, March 227:00—8:15 PMONLINEBeebe Library345 Main Street, Wakefield, MA, 01880

Beebe Library welcomes Peter Mandel, an adventure travel journalist for The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, and Huffington Post. The author of ten books, Peter hunts his stories and photos in the world's far corners, including Antarctica, India, Egypt, Patagonia, the fjords of Norway, the mountain pathways of Japan, and the deserts of Africa. 

Join Peter as he shows us slides of his most extreme travel experiences - surviving a coup in Ecuador, visiting a ‘city’ of penguins at the South Pole, fishing for piranha on Brazil’s Rio Negro, floating in the Goodyear Blimp, sailing on an Arctic icebreaker, camping in the African bush, and kayaking to the Statue of Liberty. 

Discussion of how adventure travel turns to prose on today's newspaper page to follow!
