Program Description

Event Details

Forget the overdone lists of tourist hotspots like the Sistine Chapel, Big Ben, or the Grand Canyon. Instead, discover the world's best-kept secrets and extraordinary destinations with Dr. Richard Benfield, former Chair of Geography at CCSU and a seasoned traveler to over 137 countries.

In this engaging one-hour program, Dr. Benfield will share his top 25 must-see sights for those ready to retire — or simply seeking their next great adventure. From the world’s oldest human-made artifact dating back 800,000 years to breathtaking 40,000-year-old Paleolithic art, Europe's magnificent cathedrals, the awe-inspiring majesty of remote mountain ranges, the marvels of the Panama Canal, and encounters with gorillas in the mist, you’ll gain a new perspective on travel that goes beyond the predictable. This is your chance to be inspired, gather expert travel tips, and unlock the door to your next unforgettable journey.
