Slow and Sustainable Travel

  • Talk
  • Workshop

Join Geography Victoria for a warm and inspiring winter evening of stories, geography and sustainable travel, as Robyn and Graeme retrace their unforgettable rail journey from Southeast Asia through Tibet, Central Asia and Europe.

This isn’t just another travel talk. It’s an intriguing look at how landscapes, cultures, and human connections are revealed when we choose to travel at a slower pace.

Enjoy a hearty bowl of soup, test your skills with some light-hearted GeoGuessing, and settle in for a remarkable travel presentation from Robyn and Graeme. Share your own stories and discover how you can embrace sustainable travel options around the world.

Come and experience an event full of stories, maps, scenery and inspiration.

Ticket price includes a light dinner.
