TEDxRainier – Rick Steves: The Value of Travel

I’m the biggest TED freak I know from my immediate circle of friends, and I stumbled upon this gem today because YouTube recommended it after I watched this particularly powerful video on women empowerment (for Brave New Voices, you can watch it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=jXk3uhlhAVY).

Rick Steves spent 4 months each year for the 30 years backpacking around the world; while doing so, he learned a few things everyone should know – how to be humble, how to not be so ethnocentric, and how to realize that the world’s a community, and that everyone has a stake in it, no matter how much we believe the world’s just ours.
