Seeking and Moving: Geocaching and a Virtual Race is our second episode, the adventure segment. Divided in two parts, the first half explores the world of geocaching, as explained and experienced by Jenn Sava, Senior Manager, Business Development, Geocaching (the company), and by UBC alumnus Matthew Le Page (PhD'00), who lives in Surrey and has found over 15,000 geocaches. The second portion of the episode features two women on the Summer Series virtual run, Vicky Tran, a UBC alumna (BA'04) who has written a witty article about her exercise routine and soon-to-be alumna Olivia Zywicki.
Joy in the Summer is our three-part podcast mini-series, telling stories of wine, adventure and music from the perspectives of UBC alumni, faculty members and students.
