  • For four decades Rick Steves has introduced many to the pleasures of international travel, through his popular PBS series, specials and guidebooks. During the pandemic, correspondent Conor Knighton learns, the man who has canvassed Europe's best- and least-known tourist sites has learned the simple pleasures gained in an unfamiliar destination: his own kitchen.

    "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."

    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.
