Wednesday luncheon with Rotarians Geoff Millar and Jo McLaren

Guest Speakers: Rotarians Geoff Millar and Jo McLaren

Travel and Adventure in Iceland and the STANS

 

Education consultant Geoff Millar is passionate about many things and top of the list is learning. His career saw him take on many leadership roles in schools in SA and interstate, and as a successful educational consultant working with a British company in the Middle East and Pakistan.  Another of Geoff's passions is travel and he never misses an opportunity to visit new and interesting places with the aim of understanding different cultures and learning about their history and geography. Recently he spent three weeks in Iceland in undertaking a six day, 100 km trek before taking off on a 4WD adventure.  In his presentation, he hopes to convey his excitement about this extraordinary and remote country.  The wordlist will include: Viking, glacier, volcano, fjord, fire and ice, basalt, Aortic Circle, puffin, black sand and so on.

 

Jo McLaren, from RCA Travel Partner and Sponsor Phil Hoffmann Travel, has just returned from travelling from east to west through the Five Stans in central Asia.  For more than 2000 years Central Asia has been the focus of the ancient east-west trade route known as the Silk Road, and the Five Stans take in the extraordinary countries of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.  Until recently shut off from the outside world and still shrouded in legend and mystery, these lands have produced great scholars and conquerors, empires, the incredibly beautiful cities of Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva.  They are being resurrected today with a new east-west double trade corridor set to reopen between China and its Western neighbours.  Join her on a journey through The Five Stans, Central Asia and the golden road to Samarkand
