Travel icon Rick Steves takes us back to 1978 when he ditched the guidebooks and set out on the legendary Hippie Trail from Istanbul to Kathmandu. With tales of adventure—like sleeping in a stationary abandoned train car only to find it rolling at dawn—Steves reflects on how these unexpected moments shaped his life perspective. While many travelers today often stick to Instagram-worthy hotspots, he urges more Americans – young and old – to step out of your comfort zone and travel somewhere off the beaten path.Learn More: https://viewpointsradio.org/looking-back-with-rick-steves-the-importance-of-traveling-the-lesser-known-path Linktr.ee | Apple Podcasts | YouTube | SpotifyFacebook: @ViewpointsOnlineX: @viewpointsradioInstagram: @viewpointsradioFull ArchiveContact UsAffiliates & National Syndication Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
