The author of over 30 European travel guidebooks and host of a national public television series, Rick feels that travel helps us “challenge truths we were raised to think were self-evident and God-given.” Rick shares how the other 96 percent of humanity sees our nation and explores how his social activism has grown naturally out of his travel experiences.
