Cycling Around the World with Scott Stoll January 31, 2007

Frustrated by running through the maze of modern life looking for the cheese, Scott Stoll realized he only had one life and one chance, and he asked himself, "If I could do anything--anything at all--what would I do?" His "impossible" answer was to leave home, strip himself of everything he thought he was, and ride a bicycle around the world.

His quest took four years and covered 25,752 miles through six continents and 50 countries. He had many wonderful adventures as well as misadventures--being run over in Vietnam, held hostage in Egypt, imprisoned in Zimbabwe, and trampled by elephants in Nepal--and along the way discovered some of life's secrets and found his true self.

Join Bay Area members of Hostelling International for a special slide show and presentation where Scott will share tales of his fascinating adventures along with practical advice for anyone contemplating a long-distance trek.

Admission $5 (free for HI members). Please RSVP to (415) 575-1500 or [email protected].
