Trip to the Dark Side – Chasing Eclipses

Tips & Tales from a Lifetime of Solar Eclipse Travel. PC’s passion, ne obsession, with total solar eclipses began over thirty years ago and continues to stimulate his travel interests to this day. He sees it as a perfect opportunity to travel to lesser-known places that One might often not otherwise bother to visit.

He particularly relishes the always unique reaction/interaction of the local populations with the celestial event, and the sudden influx of outsiders in conjunction with it. The juxtaposition of people and animals from the “everyday” with those from “everywhere” is always magical, yet distinctly different in each locale.

Having participated in 17 out of the 22 totality occurrences since 1995, he has amassed a curious collection of experiences on this unique sub-set of travel and travellers over the last thirty years. PC will share his knowledge and impressions in a series of Tips & Tales that should be practical and informative as well as entertaining. Get ready to enjoy hearing about his triumphs, and failures – learning a bit about how to make your own future encounter(s) the best they can be.

With the so-called “Eclipse of the Century” coming up next year in August, you will want to hear how best to make the most of it, regardless of whether you’re an expert or amateur, geek or tourist, adventurer or just a “Traveller” of sorts ;)!

PC will touch on the fundamentals behind these cosmic happenings, talk about what makes this type of event so special, and key things to look out for/avoid. He will highlight his most memorable personal experiences providing further insight and light entertainment, so that all may come away with some useful knowledge to get the most out of these rare opportunities.
