Fresh off his most recent travels, the Mindful Vagabond, Brian Michalski enthralls us with photography and vignettes gathered from exploring and working in South America for more than a year.

As he trekked the Inca Trail, navigated pristine Patagonia and explored the Amazon rainforest, he also volunteered, took Spanish classes, earned his English teaching certificate and worked remotely. Brian overcame obstacles; including one so immense, it could take only the collective help of his loved ones to save him. Michalski will enthrall you with as many entertaining stories as he has passport stamps. 

Searching for South America speaks directly to goals related to embracing cultural diversity. It is critical to remain curious about others’ customs so as to develop a better understanding of our world. Please register for this program. 

This video will be accessible for one week. https://youtu.be/kJZpLYQnI_U 

You may watch this video at any time during the one-week period. No software is needed to access this presentation online.
