Travel is freedom… one of the last great sources of legal adventure. Rick Steves, host of public television’s “Rick Steves’ Europe” and author of over 50 travel books on Europe says that affording travel is a matter of priorities. You can travel simply, safely, and comfortably anywhere in Europe for $100 a day plus transportation costs. A tight budget forces you to travel close to the ground, meeting and communicating with the people. Never sacrifice sleep, nutrition, safety, or cleanliness in the name of budget; simply enjoy the local-style alternatives to expensive hotels and restaurants. In addition to his public television show and pledge events, Rick also hosts a weekly radio show “Travel with Rick Steves,” a fun, hour-long, and practical talk show with guest experts and calls and questions from travelers (check your local listings). He is also a weekly syndicated columnist with the Chicago Tribune. Read more…
