Vagabond Traveler: Searching for South America
About this event
Brian will enthrall you with as many entertaining stories as he has passport stamps. Brian Michalski, the Mindful Vagabond, enthralls us with photography and vignettes gathered from exploring and working in South America for more than a year. He trekked the Inca Trail, navigated pristine Patagonia, and explored the Amazon Rain Forest, all while volunteering, taking Spanish classes, earning his English teaching certificate, and working remotely!

Speaker: Brian Michalski, Global Traveler
Bio: “Hello! My name is Brian, and I help vagabonds-to-be plan and execute their passion to lead lives of nontraditional travel. These concepts are communicated through private consultations and large group motivational presentations."
"As working with children has always been my passion, I taught from 2009 to 2014. However, with a strong desire to explore the world, in 2015, I took a one-way flight to farm in New Zealand, serve in Australia, volunteer in Cambodian orphanages and care for elephants in Thailand. Additionally, I pursued scuba diving, skydiving and Southeast Asian cooking courses. Two years and 20 countries later, I returned to Chicago where I am developing my vision to educate and inspire budding global nomads.”
