ROBIN ESROCK

NEWSFLASH:

When Robin returned from his initial 12-month round the world adventure, he was approached by an enthusiastic reader to organize a talk about his experience. Expecting a half dozen people to show up to his "slideshow on steroids", Robin's first travel talk attracted over 150 people, with 50 more turned away at the door because of space limits. Clearly, fans wanted to hear his stories just as much as they liked reading them.

What followed was a series of travel talks, sponsored by Travel Cuts, Canada's largest budget travel agency, culminating in a national speaking tour, in 10 cities across Canada. This was prior to Robin landing his own TV show, and travelling to a further 36 countries around the world!

Robin has twice been guest speaker at the Outdoor Adventure Show in Toronto and Vancouver, Canada's largest travel trade show. He has given inspiring and motivational lunch-time talks to companies like Deloitte & Touche and EA Sports, in-store talks for companies like GAP Adventures, and spoken as an expert on panels for the Canadian Association of Journalists and Travel Media Association of Canada. Robin has inspired students at high schools and universities, including Ryerson, UBC and BCIT. 

Robin's sponsored multimedia presentations deliver photographs, video, travel tips, tall tales, and heavy inspiration from a life of non-stop adventure.
