Rick Steve’s released a new book called “Travel as Politcal Act”.

The book is touted as a guide for those who have an appetite to learn.  Steves says, “If you make your travels a political act, your vacation can be the most intensely educational time of your life. Rather than coming home fatter, you can come home smarter – with a better understanding of the inter-connection of today’s world.”

If you don’t understand the significance of the title…What we believe Rick Steves is trying to say, is that travel makes us a more informed voter on issues involving your own country and other countries around the world.

Sound familiar??

We believe it is a guidebook similar to what ITMI Tour Directors and Guides could have collectively written and shared with friends and family.

The question of the week is…

What are your thoughts or opinions on this subject?  Please share a story or example of “Travel as a Political Act” as you interpret it.

Ted, Randy and ITMI staff
