Anyone else getting a deep feeling of wanderlust lately? Be inspired by travel expert Rick Steves in a conversation about his latest book, On the Hippie Trail: Istanbul to Kathmandu and the Making of a Travel Writer. In it, Steves explores some of the unlikely places he has traveled in his vast career and gives a personal look at his professional journey. He also takes on why he believes travel is a “political act.”

And in case you missed it, Steves joined host Larry Mantle on LAist's AirTalk last week.
