Rick Steves, author of "Travel As A Political Act," discusses why it's more important than ever for people to travel. This is the third edition of Steves' book.
Steves says some events in the last 18 months, namely Brexit and the election of Donald Trump, have made Americans anxious to travel. Steves says it's safer now than it's ever been and encourages people to get out of their comfort zones. In his opinion, the best souvenir from a trip is a broadened perspective.
While you enjoy some of that sweet, sweet summer air conditioning this weekend, enjoy from our selection of recommendations that include superheros, American heroes, a culinary hero, and a character who is definitely not a hero.
