Wanderlust Summer Series – Avanti Destinations & G Adventures
October 6 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Free
This is your time to sit down with a travel expert, get the inside scoop on a destination, cruise or a tour you’ve been dreaming about, and swap stories with fellow adventurers at our Wanderlust Summer Series!
Each month, we’ll be welcoming a rotating lineup of vetted and trusted travel partners from over the decades, the people who know these destinations, cruise lines, resorts, and experiences inside and out. They’ll be on hand to share what’s new, answer questions, and chat about travel in a way that no brochure can!
Good conversations, real connections, and a little wanderlust — that’s the idea!
What to Expect at Each Event
– A relaxed, drop-in atmosphere
– Snacks and drinks while you mingle and chat
– An opportunity to hear from our featured travel partner(s) per session
– Welcome packets with current promotions, itineraries, and travel inspiration
– A chance to casually connect with our travel specialists who’ve actually been there. Unlike AI, they’ve walked these streets in these destinations or design custom itineraries on every continent.
