With so much discussion about how travel and politics mix here on this page (two million people saw Wednesday’s post about KGB prisons, Putin, and Trump on Facebook), I’d like to share the newest version of my most important talk, produced by KCET. You’ll either love or hate this one-hour lecture. In it, I share the most important lessons learned from a lifetime of traveling out of my comfort zone. I’ll explain how, when we travel thoughtfully, we gain an empathy for the other 96 percent of humanity and come home with the greatest of all souvenirs: a broader perspective. Watch just the first 10 minutes. I dare you.
You can read the new edition of my Travel as a Political Act book — or how about if I read it to you?
