'How (and Why) to Travel World' in March 13 program

            The University Program Council at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will present "How (and Why) To Travel the World" with Andy Stoll at 7:30 p.m. March 13 in the auditorium of the Nebraska Union, 14th and R streets.

            This event will be free for UNL students with valid NCards and $5 for all others.

            Shortly after his graduation from the University of Iowa in 2003, storyteller and social entrepreneur Andy Stoll embarked on a solo four-year trip around the world, visiting 40 countries throughout his journey. Along the way, he explored entrepreneurial opportunities and studied communities, education systems, economies, cultures, media industries and people. Now he spends his time traveling to schools across the country speaking about his experiences and inspiring others to get out and see the world.

            Some of Stoll's most memorable appearances have been speaking at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, and multiple TEDx events. Stoll's message to students is "the distance between who you are and who you want to become is closer than you think." His speech will not only inspire them to embark on their own travels, but will also give them the knowledge and insight into living a life of their own creation.

            The University Program Council is a student organization that provides diverse, educational and entertaining programs to enhance the UNL community. For more information, go to http://involved.unl.edu/upc.
