About us
We are a group of people who enjoy discussing TED talks in a sociable environment. We currently meet the first Wednesday of each month. TED talks can be informative, thought-provoking and inspiring, and can spark off lively discussion. Topics fall within the realm of science, arts, technology, humanities, social sciences, philosophy etc.
We also have additional meetings from time to time in a couple of different locations. A topic of interest is decided upon before the meeting and ππ ππππ πππ πππ ππ πππππ πππ ππ πππππ π»π¬π« ππππ πππ πππ ππ ππππ πππππ ππ πππ πππππππ, which will inform our discussion on the night. A bit like a book club, where you read the book beforehand!
Discussions are in a respectful environment to encourage the participation of people with varying viewpoints and backgrounds. We also encourage you to bring ideas and perspectives from your own life experience and other content you may have read, watched or listened to.
We hope to see you at a meetup very soon!

# β Talk #1: Traveling without money, how and why
```
In this talk, delivered in English, Edouard Jacqmin shares his experience of traveling across Europe without money for 21 days and discusses how the journey changed his perspective on human relationships.Most of us dream of traveling, yet many believe we canβt because we lack the funds. At the age of 24, I traveled through Eastern Europe for 21 days without spending a single cent. One day, I emptied my wallet and decided to hit the road. Traveling across five different countries, I learned four lessons during this incredible adventure that we can all apply to our daily lives.

# β Resource # 2: The Value of Travel | Rick Steves
After spending 4 months a year for the last 30 years living out of a suitcase, Rick Steves reflects on the value of thoughtful travel. Sharing lessons learned from Iran to El Salvador and from India to Denmark, Steves tells why spending all that time and money away from home has broadened his perspective, enriched his life, and made it clear to him, as he says in his talk, "Fear is for people who don't get out very much."
