Peter Jennings on Tour
Invite Peter to Speak to Your Group
“A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labour and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.” - Yvon Chouinard
Peter Jennings seems to have mastered the art of living and has never distinguished between work and play. His inventions and creations have touched millions of people, solving their problems or providing them with hours of entertainment and joy.
Long before the term digital nomad was coined, Peter lived a nomadic, yet creative life, visiting 130 countries and continuing to write software and develop new products. He managed an online company selling 40 of his inventions while living in a camper in Europe, and later, South America and flying his paraglider from nearby mountaintops.
A sample of his experiences and accomplishments are listed on his About Peter page. If you would like to hear more, invite Peter to speak to your group by Zoom or in person.
Examples of possible talks:

For 17 years, Peter pursued his passion for flying, taking his paraglider around the world in search of the perfect flight.
