Rick Steves

As a fellow traveler, Rick Steves is the type of guy I really hate. 

And when I say hate, I mean it in that jealous-of-another-person’s-success type of hatred.  I am in fact envious of Rick Steves.  His $31 million travel empire churns out travel books, PBS shows, podcasts, and radio programs—not to mention a travel agency which sent 8,000 people abroad last year.  But churn, is perhaps too harsh of a word.  Steves is passionate about travel and the work he produces reflects this philosophy.  His successful Europe Through the Back Door guidebook series serves up inside scoops, off-the-beaten-path locations and folksy advice.  It’s certainly no Frommers. 

Take a moment to read more about this prolific traveler writer; soon you’ll join me in hating him as well.
