SUMMARY:Rick Steves: On the Hippie Trail
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz presents bestselling travel writer Rick Steves \, who will join us for a special event at The Rio Theatre to discuss his new memoir On the Hippie Trail: Istanbul to Kathmandu and the Making of a Travel Writer. \nStow away with Rick Steves for a glimpse into the unforgettable moments\, misadventures\, and memories of his 1978 journey on the legendary Hippie Trail. \n \nIn the 1970s\, the ultimate trip for any backpacker was the storied “Hippie Trail” from Istanbul to Kathmandu. A 23-year old Rick Steves made the trek\, and like a travel writer in training\, he documented everything along the way: jumping off a moving train\, making friends in Tehran\, getting lost in Lahore\, getting high for the first time in Herat\, battling leeches in Pokhara\, and much more. The experience ignited his love of travel and forever broadened his perspective on the world. \nThis book contains edited selections from Rick’s journal and travel photos with a 45-years-later preface and postscript reflecting on how the journey changed his life. Stow away with Rick Steves on the adventure of a lifetime through Turkey\, Iran\, Afghanistan\, Pakistan\, India\, and Nepal. \nYou know Rick Steves. Now discover the adventure that made him the travel writer he is today. \nSince 1973\, Rick Steves has spent about four months a year exploring Europe. His mission: to empower Americans to have European trips that are fun\, affordable\, and culturally broadening. Rick produces a best-selling guidebook series\, a public television series\, and a public radio show\, and organizes small-group tours that take over 30\,000 travelers to Europe annually. He does all of this with the help of more than 100 well-traveled staff members at Rick Steves’ Europe in Edmonds\, WA (near Seattle). When not on the road\, Rick is active in his church and with advocacy groups focused on economic and social justice\, drug policy reform\, and ending hunger. To recharge\, Rick plays piano\, relaxes at his family cabin in the Cascade Mountains\, and spends time with his son Andy\, daughter Jackie\, and his grandson…baby Atlas. Find out more about Rick at www.ricksteves.com and on Facebook. \nMore information at: Rick Steves\, On the Hippie Trail | Bookshop Santa Cruz \nThis event is co-sponsored by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz.
