Travel as a Political Act

Rick Steves

An outspoken advocate of "thoughtful" travel, popular travel writer and PBS host Rick Steves encourages travel as an opportunity to both engage in citizen diplomacy and deepen our understanding of our global community . Known primarily for his books and TV series on European travel, Steves recently produced and hosted a ground-breaking public television travel special about Iran, going beyond the politics to highlight the country's history, culture and people. He joins us to discuss the concept of "travel as a political act" and share how his travels have broadened his perspective of the complexities of living in an interdependent global society.
