Not all journeys begin with a map—some start with a craving. When Duku Forè made a spontaneous decision to pursue a $9 sandwich on the other side of the world, he had no idea it would ignite a year-long travel quest, filled with unexpected lessons and unforgettable moments. It wasn’t part of any itinerary. There were no brochures, no planning spreadsheets—just a moment of curiosity that turned into a transformative global experience.

In this energetic and reflective keynote, Duku takes audiences through the story of how one seemingly trivial decision led to some of the most profound and perspective-shifting experiences of his life. From bustling cities to quiet corners of the world, each destination brought not only adventure but new insights into the heart of what travel means—and what travellers truly seek.

This playful yet powerful keynote invites tourism professionals to reimagine the travel experience through the lens of curiosity, spontaneity, and human connection. Duku’s story isn’t just about a sandwich—it’s about what happens when people follow their instincts, embrace the unknown, and find meaning in the unplanned.
