Join me for two months of summer travels north of the Alps

If you know me, you know I’m in a rut. I spend four months a year working in Europe: spring in the Mediterranean, go home for a short break in June, and then July and August north of the Alps. I’ve just enjoyed a short break back in Seattle. (I’ve heard it’s nice there in the summer.) Now I’m back in Europe and excited to be kicking off my summer travels. I’m also excited to be packing you along.

I’ll be blogging daily for the next 60 days following this itinerary: guidebook research in Germany (Frankfurt, Rhine, Würzburg, Nürnberg, Dresden), filming two new TV shows in the Netherlands (one in Amsterdam and one in the countryside), guidebook research in Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Denmark), film TV shows in Berlin and Prague, and finally eight days in Poland.

On my first day in Germany I met people like this family, who are basing their trips on my guidebooks. These are the people I am working for. And seeing how much fun they’re having–and to think that I’m a small part of that travel joy–makes my work very gratifying. It stokes my battery.

I see we’re about to break 200,000 friends on my Facebook page. If you have any friends who like to travel, invite them to “like” me and join me for this next two months of European travel. I promise it’ll be a great trip.

  1. Looking forward to your upcoming blogs! Have a wonderful rest of the summer!

  2. Please Rick. I know it’s not your most favored nation but what about another show on Greece.

  3. Great to hear, I’ll be looking forward to following your adventures on Facebook. Love the photos you’ve posted already.

    I’m an American indie travel blogger and photographer who has been based in Copenhagen for the last three years. If you’re interested in connecting for a chat, or for a few of Copenhagen’s insider’s secrets I’d love to meet up. Feel free to drop me an e-mail if so =)

    Either way, enjoy the remainder of the trip! So many gorgeous places to discover as part of it with such amazing food, landscapes, and vivid history.
