VR Travel Club
Travel Club 20 will meet 10-11:15 a.m. Wednesdays, Sept. 30-Oct. 21
Sign up for our new VR Travel Club and you'll become a member of a core group that meets regularly for four weeks exploring the world together. Each week is something different, from adventures in national parks and castles around the world to famous spots in Australia and Spain.
Each narrated 3-D video is 2 to 8 minutes and we take a couple minutes in between to chat about what we saw and experienced together as we are in the same place virtually at the same time, seeing the same amazing historic sites and natural landscapes. We'll end each week with an awe-inspiring virtual excursion, Icefields Parkway and Belalp Festival, Toucan Encounters and tour of Buckingham Palace, a Flamenco Dance Performance and go diving with sea turtles.
Because these travel adventures are based on actual video, this 3-D experience makes you feel as if you're really there.
Over the four weeks, you'll get to know your travel companions. Each travel group will come up with its own name. The group decides! Maybe it's Wanderlust, Nomads or TSA-Free. You'll wear a lanyard with your group photo and club name as you create memories that connect you. After Week 1, bring your own snacks for a post-experience Snack & Chat with your new friends.
