Our OLLI usually offers international travel adventures each year.  Our trips
have an educational focus and are usually led by an SVSU faculty member. 
Participants find our trips to be a  “no worries” way to see the world with
other OLLI members.  Most packages include a pre-trip dinner, pre-trip class
and a post travel photo-sharing gathering.
