Many of us are experiencing intense wanderlust these days. Join us for a fascinating, free Zoom discussion with author Dave Seminara, a self-described “pathological traveler.” Seminara’s new book, Mad Travelers: A Tale of Wanderlust, Greed and the Quest to Reach the Ends of the Earth, is both a true-crime travelogue about a young con man (William Simon Baekeland) and an exploration of wanderlust and why we travel. Dave Seminara will be in conversation with Megan Fernandez.
