“Travel Is a Political Act:” Rick Steves on the “Hippie Trail”

Season 2025 Episode 7180 | 18m 09s

”The hippie trail” was a legendary route for travelers, thousands of miles overland from Istanbul to Kathmandu. It's the journey that inspired the highly respected travel writer Rick Steves back in 1978. Now Steves is on an entirely different journey after battling prostate cancer. He tells Walter Isaacson why he believes travel is a vital force for peace.
