If you’re unfamiliar with Europe and you’re challenged to point to the Baltic States - well, it’s ok to flounder a little.

Maybe you’d try somewhere near Yugoslavia. Nope, that’s the Balkans, a common mistake. Maybe you spot the word “Baltic” and make a stab at Scandinavian - a valiant effort, but still a bit wide of the mark.

When it comes to travel destinations, one of the most visited in recent years is Croatia. Croatia is known for its rich history and culture, amazing cuisine, and idyllic coastline. Because of its many stunning and picturesque sites, the country has become a favorite filming location for HBO’s Game of Thrones.

Both of these events are meant to be very casual, a chance to meet some other travellers, say hello to myself and Veronica, and talk about travel! I hope you'll join us should you have the chance.

What do you think your chances are of setting foot on another world?

Not so high, I’m guessing. You might know that there have been exactly 12 people who have set foot on the Moon since 1969 - and to date, that’s it for exploring our solar system in person.

Here's the replay from our January 10 Webinar about our upcoming tour of Japan. Gordon talks a bit about what makes Japanese culture so interesting, the flow and highlights of the tour, and answers some questions from members on the webinar.
