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.
