Many of you know
Rick Steves as down-to-earth travel guide and affable host of PBS's "Travels in Europe." (My mother is a Ricknik who absolutely
has to watch this program every week.) What you may
not know is that Rick is also a member of the ELCA, whose faith informs his travel philosophy and social conscience. Steves has created a series of programs called
Faithful Travel for the ELCA's "Mosaic Television." You can order these through the ELCA website. Good stuff even for armchair travelers.
I saw a piece about him somewhere recently - can't think where. A 60-Minutes thing, maybe, or something. I guess he's really built up a huge financial empire out of this travelling thing. And he started way back in college by backpacking across Europe.
ReplyDeleteI saw him on PBS in Spain once, doing tapas. Mmmmm.....
Mmmm, indeed!
ReplyDeleteI think I saw that episode...he was eating tapas, and Spanish dry-cured ham, and pig's ears, and the pickles-on-a-stick whose name escapes me.
Yeah, talk about following your bliss...how cool is it to leverage a love of wandering around the planet into a really successful and fun career?
