Friends and fellow Rotarians, you are invited to travel the world with the Rotary Club of Eugene Metropolitan this Tuesday, September 23, 2025 at 6 pm.

Syliva Ryan, programs coordinator for Global Tours & Travel-USA will take us around the world in twenty minutes.

Sylvia is also the 2024-2025 club president of the Eugene Southtowne Rotary and has a lifelong passion for travel, sharing adventures, and creating memories together.

“Travel takes us out of our comfort zones and inspires us to see, taste, and try new things. It constantly challenges us, not only to adapt to and explore new surroundings, but also engage with different people, to embrace adventures as they come, and to share new and meaningful experiences with friends and loved ones. Traveling is one of the most inspiring activities I can think of because it expands the mind and fills the gaps. Seeing new places, meeting new people, and experiencing different cultures are all incredibly enriching experiences that encouraged me to get into the travel industry. However, one thing that really inspired me to venture into the travel industry is learning about a place’s history and culture through its food, art, music, and architecture. Exploring these elements helps me gain a deeper understanding of the area I’m visiting, which makes it even more enjoyable for me!” Sylvia told the Springfield Chamber of Commerce in 2023. You can read her full interview here.

“Being able to take pictures or videos while traveling allows me to capture memories from my trips so I can look back on them fondly, later down the road. Not undermining the importance of money, I did realize that the best way to live life as a human being was to see other humans, connect with nature, and see as much of this beautiful planet as I can. Truly, this planet is the only thing we all have … the rest is all a creation of the mind. I want to see as much as possible, experience it to the fullest!”

When you’re ready to book your next vacation, your adventure packages can include wildlife tours and safaris, ticket booking, hotel booking, visas, cultural tours, sustainable tourism, car tours, and airport pickups across all continents except Antarctica.

All are welcome to join us at the newly remodeled and always outstanding Davis Restaurant for the best local cuisine, great wine, and custom drinks. Or comment below for Metro’s permanent Zoom link.
