Guest speaker - Julie Salisbury

When Julie was 32 years old and at the top of her game she decided to give it all up and travel the world.  She took advantage of the Rand in 1998 and bought a sailboat for a quarter of what it would have cost her in her native England.  By the time she got to Thailand she was flat broke and luckily found a restaurant that would feed her for four weeks until she could get some more money.  She took backpackers on tours and they became working crew and contributed to the cost of running the boat.  After 7 years she felt there must be something more she could do with her life so she came to Canada and started Influence Publishing.  They publish books that influence change in the world.  And of course she had to write her own book - "Around the World in 7 Years."
