April 2nd 2024, 6:00 pm - Project Research in the Community Center at the Matheson Memorial Library .


Traveling the world with the Tarchenski's

When you were young, did you ever wish you had the courage to travel to foreign shores and just see everything there was to see? Our meeting will present a young couple who have careers that allow them to work through their computers and who have had the good fortune to do exactly that.

Danielle and Kevin Tarchenski grew up locally, attending school in Harvard, Illinois, were married in 2010, started out marriage in Seattle before their travels and for the last 8 1⁄2 years have been on the road traveling the world. They have been through cemeteries, archives, and libraries everywhere. They’ve taken every available public transportation and have walked to many places because they do not have a personal car to allow them to drive around. They will be showing us pictures of their travels.

Come and join us to meet these two courageous people. We’ll be able to ask them questions about their travels, which countries they like best and the reasons why.
