Death, Sex & Money - Rick Steves Says Travel is the Antidote to Fear

Death, Sex & Money - Rick Steves Says Travel is the Antidote to Fear

In 2008, travel writer Rick Steves thought the U.S. might be on the verge of war with Iran. So he took a TV crew there to document the people and places who might soon be at risk. “You should know people before you bomb them,” he told Anna Sale.

In this episode, Rick talks about his multiple visits to Iran (the first was in 1978) and how travel in general can challenge our beliefs and broaden our perspectives. He also explains how he manages his money and why he gives so much of it away.

You can find Rick’s most recent book On the Hippie Trail: Istanbul to Kathmandu and the Making of a Travel Writer on his website.

His 2009 TV special from Iran is available on YouTube.

And here’s NPR’s story by Rebecca Rosman about Rick purchasing the hygiene center.

This episode was produced by Cameron Drews.
