Overland Expo 2012 is growing it’s list of experienced presenters for this years event. Rene Cormier, a Canadian BMW rider will be in person on Saturday, May 19 to deliver his talk “Around the World on $25 a Day”. Cormier will bring the Overland Expo 2012 crowd along as he explains how a 3 year around-the-world trip ended up taking 5 years, and how he managed to pay for the unsponsored, unsupported journey.

Cormier joins fellow presenters Tiffany Coates, Austin Vince, and Lois Pryce in bringing the wonders of global motorcycle travel to the Overland crowds.

“Rene’s story reinforces the important point that low budgets can still create great trips. On a practical level, the reality is that most of us are planning trips with finite budgets,” said Roseann Hanson, co-founder and director of the Overland Expo 2012. “We want riders to come and learn how to make the most of the money they have for their trips, not wait until they hit the lottery and then go.”

Cormier adds “The biggest challenge in sharing past travel experiences with new adventurers is getting them all in one place for long enough to have the chat. Overland Expo 2012 gives me the chance to have a quality conversation with people who are interesting in doing this style of riding for themselves, or those who are simply curious about travel in far off lands.”
