RICK STEVES
TRAVEL AS A POLITICAL ACT

Travel writer, television host, and one of the most highly regarded authorities on international travel, Rick Steves visits from Edmonds to discuss something a little different from the usual where-and-how guidebook fare.

His new book explores various facets of why we travel—for example, the ways travel can  foster cultural understanding, peace, and help travelers broaden their minds and face their own insecurities and fears. Steves will talk about how to travel more thoughtfully, and show how his own travels to such destinations as Asia and the Middle East have shaped his views of the world and human relations.

This event will be held at the Bainbridge High School Commons.
