If the impending Hallmark holiday makes you want to trade Dupont for Dubai, Tenleytown for Tenerife, or Mount Pleasant for Mount Everest, turn your wanderlust into reality at Hostelling International’s annual International Travel Day. The 23 speakers include best-selling authors Edward Hasbrouck and Gene Openshaw, as well as Melissa Allman, who will discuss travel for people with disabilities. From swimming with sea turtles to the Peace Corps, find out about recreational, educational, and volunteer opportunities around the globe; talk with representatives from more than 50 countries; bid on a trip to Asia in the silent auction; register to win door prizes like free airline tickets; and listen to Andean, Eastern European, Scottish Highlands, and Middle Eastern bands. When you’re traveling as an air courier, the planet may not seem so lonely after all. From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the D.C. Convention Center, 900 9th St. NW. $5. (202) 783-4944. (Amanda Fazzone)
