Our very special March member meeting will feature speaker Benedicte Teigan Gude. Benedicte has been on an amazing journey of self discovery in pursuit of her passions. She climbed Everest in 2019, and was the 11th Norwegian woman to ever reach the summit. Recently after qualifying as a sommelier, she opened her own wine bar called Wining in Grunnerløkka (@wining_oslo) in November 2024. She is an amazing person with an exciting story, demonstrating that it is never too late to reinvent yourself! Benedicte loves a Q&A session, so come prepared to engage. In addition to Benedicte's talk, we will enjoy a social meeting. Come prepared to talk about a risk you took that really paid off to share with the group. Betsy will make a delicious soup as our small meal.

**While we had another traveller to Nepal, Steffi Morfield, tell her tale last year, note this is more a story arche of the last five or six years of Benedicte's life where she has changed gears and taken many risks while doing it!
