TELLURIDE
Telluride is a magical place, a destination close enough for reasonable air travel but far enough to feel removed from it all. Whether climbing a mountainside on the Via Ferrata (“The Iron Way” – a climbing system of rungs and cables), fly-fishing for the first time (every single person on the retreat caught at least one!), rappelling, hiking the breathtaking canyon trails around Bridal Veil Falls, or taking 4x4s out to the abandoned mining sites, Telluride proved to be uniquely beautiful while gritty at the same time. A foodie’s heaven, we enjoyed some of the most amazing steak ever on this retreat! Telluride’s history is full of innovation (Tesla worked here!) and larger than life characters, and it’s easy to feel the inspiration this special place provides to power such thinking.
SOUTH AFRICA
"When attending YPO GLC in South Africa this year, I continuously learned from experts. The educators have given me many ideas to implement in my board role for this coming year. After the YPO event, we joined some YPO friends in our chapter on an amazing African Safari. It truly was one of the best experiences of my life… awesome company with people who have become some of our best friends! This trip provided me with a life-changing opportunity to be one with nature in all it's glory!"

ARGENTINA
YPO’s Global One/YNG’s Argentina Solar Eclipse Experience was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure into every facet of Argentina and its culture. We enjoyed the company of world-renowned figures in politics, journalism, tango, social enterprise, and astrophysics throughout our journey, including the former senior editor of Argentina’s leading liberal newspaper; five Ashoka fellows leading social enterprises across Argentina; the vice-minister for economic and social welfare; a celebrated professor at Argentina’s national tango academy and judge of the world tango competition; and the nations leading female astrophysicist specializing in the interpretation and access of advanced scientific knowledge. We toured Buenos Aires, learned about gaucho life, danced the tango with Argentina’s leading teacher, tasted wines from private collections, and witnessing the full solar eclipse of the sun with the nation’s leading astrophysicist.
