Rick Steves: Travel as a Political Act

January 8, 2027 at 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm PST

Guidebook author and TV host Rick Steves believes there’s more to travel than good food and fun in the sun. By venturing out of their comfort zone, travelers can gain an empathy for the other 96 percent of humanity and a better understanding of the interconnectedness of today’s world. In this provocative slideshow lecture, Rick draws from lessons learned while exploring Europe, Central America, Asia, and the Middle East to illustrate how, when Americans “travel as a political act,” they come home with the greatest of all souvenirs: a broader perspective. Afterward, Rick will do a brief Q & A with the audience.
