Travel Author and Advocate, Rick Steves, says "travel is a political act." Political because it "connects people with people. It helps us fit more comfortably and compatibly into a shrinking world. And it inspires creative new solutions to persistent problems facing our nation." Without travel, he argues,"we can't understand the interconnectedness of our world and how our nation fits in."*

This newsletter is full of ways you can engage in meaningful travel that both resists the global fear that threatens to imprison us all AND inspires us to find new solutions to our global problems. We hope you'll find a trip that fits your interests and skills, and join us in the 'politics' of connecting people to people toward understanding the interconnectedness of our world.
