In the 1970s, the ultimate trip for any backpacker was the storied “Hippie Trail” from Istanbul to Kathmandu. A 23-year-old Rick Steves made the trek and documented it all, penning a 60,000-word journal that is now his newest book, On the Hippie Trail: Istanbul to Kathmandu and the Making of a Travel Writer. In this exciting new talk, he illustrates how the trip inspired his teaching mission to equip and inspire Americans to venture beyond Orlando: to travel smartly, experientially, and in a way that broadens their perspectives and earns them the greatest of all souvenirs: a passion for building bridges, not walls.
