No, unfortunately. I'll be on the road.
Done! Thank you.
That's great to hear. Happy travels!
Watching the @ricksteves.bsky.social episode about fascism and Nazi Germany. It's frightening watching it now because so many of the things talked about in this episode are happening RIGHT NOW. I HIGHLY recommend you watch and get everyone you know to watch.

Happy travels!
Back in 1978, I traveled through Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India & Nepal with my best friend on the ultimate trip for any backpacker — the so-called Hippie Trail.
“On the Hippie Trail” features my journal & photos from that journey — and the paperback edition will be available 4/21!
Rev. Eugene Cho will join @ricksteves.bsky.social on Monday, March 23 at 9 PM ET for Monday Night Travel!

Tried watching @ricksteves.bsky.social Iran episode and only made it 30 seconds before getting choked up at the sight of darling Iranian school girls.
If only everyone could see their humanity. ❤️🩹 A must watch.

This is a beautiful portrait from the inimitable @ricksteves.bsky.social of the people who are suffering in Iran, both under its theocracy and from our nation's warmongering.
My friend @ricksteves.bsky.social calls out MAGA’s lies and policies that are eroding democratic norms, including how federal budget choices are shifting wealth from working people to the rich.

Thank you, Christian.
Traveler/historian @ricksteves.bsky.social is concerned about what's going on in our country, and the possibility of losing our #Democracy. So am I. #Fascism #Authoritarianism www.youtube.com/watch?v=E20u...
If you search for “Holocaust” in our Rick Steves Classroom Europe video library (classroom.ricksteves.com), you’ll find a dozen clips that can be shared as a teaching tool at home or in the classroom. Please share this free resource with the parents and teachers in your life.
As the years go by and the last eyewitnesses to the Holocaust pass away, it's more important than ever to keep that tragic memory alive — and to remember the stark lessons of what happens when a society gives power to hate and racism.
Enshrined on a Dachau memorial is a message from Hitler's victims: “Forgive, but never forget.”
I have an ethic that virtually every @ricksteveseurope.bsky.social tour through Germany includes a visit to a concentration camp memorial. When you travel thoughtfully, the impact changes you.
Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day — and with masked troops in our streets, law-abiding neighbors being disappeared, a president othering and dehumanizing entire communities in our country, and big mysterious prisons awaiting his scapegoats, history is speaking to all of us.
Get well soon!
Excellent account that is even more relevant today than when it was originally made.
Edmonds-based travel writer and TV host Rick Steves understands why some Americans may hesitate to travel these days. But according to Steves, it's more important than ever. @ricksteves.bsky.social

Beware of "pink slime" media. @a-rlnt.bsky.social covered the story about @ricksteves.bsky.social last month, & this story about "Rick Steves" came up. Many readers pointed out that is NOT Rick nor is that building the hygiene center.

A more detailed account of the purchase by @ricksteves.bsky.social of a neighborhood hygiene center, his plans to help improve it further, and him calling out a failure to support vulnerable people. What a mensch. Be Rick.
