Be inspired, learn about other cultures and enjoy free refreshments and traditional treats at the Global Lounge’s Travel the World events!
On 8 February, we’ll be hearing about Mexico!
We’ll be joined by postgraduate student in Biomedical Sciences Research, Paulina Govea Alvarez. She’ll be guiding us through her home-country of Mexico, sharing her favourite travel tips and best cultural insights about this multicultural nation.
Brought to you as an interactive presentation, you’ll have the chance to ask any questions you may have at the end!
This is a fantastic chance to broaden your cultural knowledge, learn something new and be inspired to visit new places in the future. Not only will you get to learn something new, but you’ll get to meet new people and enjoy some refreshments after the talk.
