Rick Steves is a renowned travel writer, television host, and guidebook author known for turning tourism into a tool for cultural connection, personal growth, and global citizenship. In this episode, Rick Steves shares how decades of exploring the world have shaped his values, his politics, and his understanding of what makes life meaningful. He and Amanda talk about finding joy in discomfort, why venturing outside your comfort zone builds resilience, and how travel can be a spiritual act—not because it offers answers, but because it teaches you how to ask better questions.
