Same here. I just love watching Rick, and the great places he travels to. I remember I met him at a travel show at a convention center near my house. He gave a lecture on how to travel smartly. After the lecture, he gave autographs, and took pictures. I got his autograph, and took a picture with him. Such a nice guy
Still paying his employees? What an awesome dude! I've been traveling with his guidebooks since 1997, and always liked the man, but my level of respect for him (already high) just went through the roof. Great job Rick!
@@ritahorvath8207 Before the pandemic I used to say. " I'm going to Europe every year until I can't." Now just going for groceries with a mask is a lot. My glasses steamed up, I took them off and lost them in the market! UGH.
"Hi, I'm Rick Steves. Today we're in my kitchen, where the sounds and smells of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese fill the air. It's traditionally served in these delightful plastic bowls from Walmart, which come in a vivid tapestry of colors, dazzling the senses. Those who wander off the beaten path will be rewarded by the Pop-Tart cupboard, where the crumbly and sweet local delicacy is served by the boxful. Visitors eat them warm, but locals know this delicious snack is best served right out of the freezer on a decorative paper plate."
Meowth, that's right 🤣 I can't not hear Rick's voice when reading this because that's precisely how he would have worded all of it. Keep on traveling, ciao!
When you can't afford to travel abroad especially around Europe, this guy is the answer. I watched most of his travel videos and enjoyed each destination. Power on Mr. Rick Steves.
This guy is up there with Mr. Rodgers, in levels of delightfulness. I know i can never afford to see the world Steve's witness, but i appreciate that he is passionate enough about his work to film it and teach us the beauty in travel.
Never say never!!! If you really want that travel life? It’s possible! You just have to travel smart and follow what his advice! Don’t go for the tourist places but go and merge with the locals :D I’ve done it and I’m only 25 with a entry level job haha 😂
Rick Steves was apart of my Freshman and Sophomore year french classes, greeting us with his travel videos. Had kind of forgotten about him, glad to see he’s well!
I love him too! I have always wanted to travel to Europe since I was a kid. I have had a dream to see some of the most amazing sights, try new foods, and get immersed into a new culture of people.
He did a guest appearance on NPR’s How I Built This. It was amazing. I didn’t know much about this man because I’m only 20 but he’s lived an amazing life
What a beautiful soul he is. I have lived Europe through for over 20 years, and when I finally got to go in 2017,2018, and 2019 my husband and brother were baffled at how much I knew about the places we visited. Listening to him playing Taps on his trumpet made tears well up in my eyes. Thank you Rick Steves. I will “keep on traveling” as soon as I can.
I'm a nature guide in my homeland and a national park. First time in the last 20 years I did not get to see the orchids bloom in summer. Also, zero income for over a year. Never ever been more depressed and lost in my entire life ... this gave me so much joy to see. There's a lot to do, but with two kids locked at home it has been impossible. Guess Ill find the way!
Rick has done a great service to the world with his programs, books and other achievements. It was a shame his first marriage ended in divorce. I loved the first shows that showed Ann and his children. Thank you Rick Steves for all you have done!
One of my dreams is to sit and chat with him about Life, while touring the sights! I admire his openness and refreshing insight, as well . God bless you, Rick Steves!
It truly amazes me that CBS does not caption their videos on RUclips. There are a lot of deaf people in the US and many more that might want to watch videos without sound. Please make it accessible, CBS!
I've spent 40 years in the airlines (20 of them in sales) working with travel agents. Loved the travel industry. Steve's work has been very enjoyable and inspirational for me as well as for others 😀
Same here. Rick is a phenomenal man with a great mind, and a very warm heart. I have always wanted to travel to Europe since I was young. In June I’m going to Europe with some family, and I can’t wait! We’re going to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland for two weeks
Same here. He is such a wealth on information on how to travel smartly, yet still having fun. I met him at a travel show a few years ago. He’s such an awesome guy with a great personality. I have had a dream since I was little to travel to Europe. I hope to get there one day
For the last 6 months I’ve been streaming his shows and traveling vicariously thru him. I also caught a thoughtful and cautionary special he did on the rise of Fascism in pre-WW2 Europe; which I think was an amazing public service. Lastly, the fact he still pays his staff is amazingly great as both a businessman and human being. Good on him!
Rick Steves directly inspired me to take the leap into my first (and only) trip abroad. I explored Amsterdam solo for three weeks and it changed my life Thanks Rick 💖
@@lorelailaval7676 OR being an art major and immersing oneself in a city where Rembrandt and Van Gogh walked. Amsterdam is so much more than a place to do drugs
it's all good:) Nothing against drugs, or prostitution, for that matter, but AMS is not the capital of art, dear. Besides I do not like Steves because he is a rich white man traveling on 5 stars, that's not traveling. Keep living your halcion life.
I love Rick Steves. We read the guide books for years and travelled to Italy based on his recommendations. Met other people on the path between towns in the Cinque Terre carrying his books as well. Later I attended one of his travel fairs and lectures in Edmonds. Now, to my own amazement, I'm in Thailand. I never would have thought it, but Rick's sense of discovery in travel permeated through all of us in the Seattle area and around the USA. He's definitely had an impact on my life and I still try to keep tabs on him from afar.
I am almost obsessed with Rick Steves. I have had a dream since I was little to travel to Europe. It’s just amazing to see all these great places, and learn so much about them. The first place I would visit would be Germany. From what I’ve seen in the Rick Steves episodes I have watched, the German people seem really nice, and have a great knowledge of what to do and see, and have so much to say about their country’s history
I love your program! I am so thankful for these carefully selected horizons where we can pause, rest and view a guaranteed facet of beautiful. Great trumpet performance btw.
I visited Europe with some family last June. I felt like Rick because I knew so much about traveling thanks to him. I remember my aunt calling me Rick if she had a question about something.
I love his European travel tours. I love travel too but since covid I'm leery to ever travel again and I've still got places I want to see. I just feel like travel will never be normal again
Actually, thanks to all these videos and books, I am very comfortable staying home and enjoying the simple life while also traveling remotely. This too shall pass! Enjoy your staycation Rick!
@@worldcitizeng6507 There's something disturbing about a man who travels the world yearly, but can't make himself a piece of toast. The more I think about it, the more it bothers me.
I have always been a huge fan of Rick Steves. I met him at a travel show a few years ago. Such a great man with a lot of information about Europe. Since I was little, I have had a dream to travel to Europe. See the Eiffel Tower in France, the Black Forest in Germany, and many other exciting places. Its been on my bucket list for a long time
Rick Steves should be in the Guyness book of World records.He has been to so many beautiful places and gave us so much positive reviews of our astonishing World. I traveled a lot and enjoyed all the different cultures of our super planet. Thanks Monsieur Rick , you made me a traveler too. Jacques.
European travel was off limits recreationally in WWII and WWI as well. Our later generations have just gotten used to being able to enjoy travelling freely.
I absolutely enjoy his travel show, everytime I'm searching for something to watch and I happen to catch it , I watch it. it is very entertaining and interesting to hear his voice narrate it .
I was in that boat I had my first European trip all pay for in late 19’ I remember saying there is no way I will miss this trip sure enough we get a pandemic
A truly compassionate man. As evidenced by his paying his staff without his business having an income.
LOL. Rick Steves is an anti-Semite.
He is a fool. "Build Back Better" is all about destroying everything and keeping everyone from traveling.
Rick Steves, love you!
The king of travel 🧳
I love Rick Steves. He is a national treasure and an inspiration. I can't wait until he is able to travel and create new videos.

Rick Steves playing Taps every day at sunset: Priceless!
Hello good morning 🌺🌺🌺🌺
I studied hiss GREECE years ago. So when I went on that trip, the tour guide was astounded that I knew so much. I just thanked Rick S.
Such a decent human being through and through
Sounds like a nice guy. Educating people through travel is a noble cause. Especially nowadays.
Great to have an update on Steve..he's a great tour guide on his travel shows as well as a great story teller.
Hello good evening
He's such a dork. Got to love him though. Can't wait to travel again someday (hopefully soon) with my Rick Steve's book in hand.
His tips for Rome, Athens and Cairo (just to name a few) enabled me to enjoy these cities in ways I never imagined. He’s truly gifted!
