Rick Steves at Saint Ignatius
Rick Steves, guidebook author, public radio, and TV host, is one of the most respected authorities on European Travel. Host of the popular public television series “Rick Steves’ Europe” and best selling author of over 50 European travel books, Rick advocates smart, affordable and perspective-broadening travel. He encourages American citizens to travel independently and become “temporary locals” by seeking the paths usually unbeaten by tourists. Rick has published a new genre of travel writing with Travel as a Political Act, reflecting on how a life of travel has broadened his own perspectives, and can be a significant force for peace and understanding in the world. IPM is hosting a private reception (5-6 pm) and an interactive evening with Rick Steves in conjunction with its 40th Anniversary inaugural General Assembly and Celebratory Activities—a weeklong series of meetings and public events in Cleveland from October 13-17th.
