About the book: 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 his experiences along the way: leaping oJ a moving train in Yugoslavia, getting lost in Lahore, getting high for his first time in Herat, battling leeches in Pokhara, making the scene on Freak Street in Kathmandu, and more.

That 60,000-word journal is now Rick’s newest book, On the Hippie Trail: Istanbul to Kathmandu and the Making of a Travel Writer — and he is celebrating its publication with a new talk that illustrates how this coming-of-age trip inspired his teaching mission to equip and inspire Americans to venture beyond Orlando: to travel smartly by creating an efficient itinerary, eating and sleeping well, avoiding crowds, and packing light...to travel experientially, with the philosophy that the more understanding you bring to your sightseeing, the more you’ll get out of it, and meeting people carbonates your experience...and to “travel as a political act” by broadening their perspectives and coming home with the greatest of all souvenirs: a passion for building not walls, but bridges.
