Event Details

This event is officially sold out (again!) but as of Monday a few tickets have freed up, so please add yourself to the waitlist and we'll keep you informed as spots become available.

 

Join us for an evening of travel information and inspiration!
 
Ever wanted to quit your job and travel the world? Do people tend to give you the fisheye whenever you talk about this crazy scheme? Never fear, we have the event for you!

Meet, Plan, Go! is a chance to crank up your career break inspiration. Hear from a panel who will answer your questions and dispense sage advice: travelers who have taken career breaks, financial gurus who can help you save money for your trip, and travel planning experts to show you how it's done. In addition, there will be lots of informal mingling with local travelers of every type -- 20somethings, older-than-20somethings, couples, singles, backpackers, road warriors, travelers with kids, photographers, videographers -- to share their experiences, tips, and tricks.


And if that weren't enough; we have great sponsors giving away travel prizes! You'll have the chance to win a free trip to Peru from Gap Adventures, or a free volunteer abroad trip with GeoVisions; along with a number of other great giveaways.

Reps from STA Travel's DC store will also be on hand to answer your travel questions.


Due to the overwhelming response, we've opened up more tickets and have moved to a bigger venue: Policy DC's Liberty Lounge! Our fabulous new hosts have provided happy hour specials for food & drink, and a great space for networking before and after the panel discussion.
