On February 10th, 2016 in Montreal, Justin was one of four speakers presenting a workshop entitled "The Secrets of Traveling".
The description for this event, on its FB event page, began with:

Guest speakers:
Justin (Presented in a mixture of French and English):
He has travelled through 71 countries and has spoken 21 languages
and will provide practical advice on backpacking/hitchhiking plus sharing his favourite spots.

The event generated so much interest! 248 people confirmed that they'd be attending, while 1,300 people were interested
A note was posted, informing people there was limited space.
On the night of the event, 160 people came for the workshop.
There was room for 100 of them.
Justin began the event by lecturing for 40 minutes in French (though his first language is English),
giving "how-to" traveling advice to the people in attendance.
The evening was a great success!
