U.S. river explorer Travis Winn will give a free talk about his experience at La Vie Materielle Bookstore on Saturday.
Travis Winn
Born in Colorado, Winn grew up on the rivers of the American Southwest, eventually working as a river guide in Grand Canyon National Park.
Starting at the age of 16, he has explored many major rivers in western China’s Tibet, Sichuan, Qinghai and Yunnan by both kayak and raft. He reads, writes and speaks Chinese, and his expeditions have been featured in Men’s Journal, Outside Magazine (Chinese edition) and on China Central Television.
In recent years, he has focused on engaging Chinese decision-makers in learning about rivers by bringing them to experience them first hand. He enjoys bringing people together through the river experience.
