Rick Steves at Bay Area Travel Show – Piano Teacher to Travel Guru
by Chris Christensen Add commentscategories: Uncategorized
This video is the introduction of Rick Steves‘ talk at the Bay Area Travel Show. He was giving a talk about visiting Europe “through the backdoor” (connecting to the culture and not traveling to all the same tourist destinations in tour buses). Before his talk he spoke for a few minutes about his personal story of how he went from a piano teacher to a popular travel personality on TV and radio, a travel guidebook author and a tour operator.

Thanks for posting this! Great to hear Rick’s story.
On a side note, I found out that it’s very important not to reverse the “u” and “e” in your URL. Yikes! Some day I will learn to spell “amateur” correctly!

Note to self. Never name a website with words that are hard to self… again.
