Budget Treasures Travel Club
To Travel is to Live! The Budget Treasures Travel Club is a travel club for people who love to travel but don't love to spend a lot of money doing it. We meet the 4th Thursday of every month at Ross U-Hills Library, 4310 E. Amherst Ave. Denver, CO 6-7 pm. Membership is free. Upcoming Club Presentations January 28: “101 Countries” with guest presenter P.J.Parma. Join P.J. Parmar for a fun, colorful presentation on his independent low-budget travels to over 120 countries on six continents. He visited his first 101 countries in his mid 20s for $12,000 and in less than one year total time; his travelogue "101 Countries: Discovering the World Through Fast Travel" will be available. P.J. is also cohost of America's Dining and Travel national weekly radio show and The World A La Carte podcast, both with Pierre Wolfe. February 25: "The Saharan Desert in the Algerian Hoggar" with guest speaker Greg Mandel.
