In this fully revised collection of stories and lessons from the road, the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times-\u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author and travel writer Rick Steves shares a powerful message that resonates now more than ever.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With the world facing divisive and often frightening events, from climate change, to rising nativism and populism, there's never been a more important time to travel. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Rick believes the risks of travel are widely exaggerated, and that fear is for people who don't get out much. After years of living out of a suitcase, he still marvels at how different cultures find different truths to be self-evident, how the people he meets wallop his ethnocentricity, and how we can learn more about our own country by viewing it from afar. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With gripping stories from Europe, Central America, Asia, and the Middle East, including a new chapter based on Rick's travels in Ethiopia and Guatemala, \u003ci\u003eTravel as a Political Act\u003c\/i\u003e is an antidote to the current climate of xenophobia. When we travel thoughtfully, we bring back the most beautiful souvenir of all: a broader perspective on the world that we all call home. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Rick Steves","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46357437120748,"sku":"9781631217630","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9781631217630.jpg?v=1774628834","url":"https:\/\/intl.allstora.com\/products\/travel-as-a-political-act","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
