OAT travelers just cannot stay away from travel and sharing
their love of both travel and Overseas Adventure Travel trips. On April 29, 35 OAT travelers met for
the first time all at once via Zoom. The invitation to join the Zoom meeting was made in the Facebook group Friends of
OAT Traveler Discussion Group (not sponsored by OAT). The meeting was
successful, and everyone was enthusiastic about meeting regularly on Zoom and
focusing on discussion topics. One popular suggestion was to have a topic per continent
per week, and let everyone share their experiences on various OAT trips , Africa
or Asia for instance, and the trips they enjoyed the most. This Zoom social gathering both let people become engaged with the thought of
future travel, and it provided some much needed "travel therapy “ at a time when travel
isn’t an option.
