Possible Story Angles
In an interview, Steves will explain how his travels have shaped his worldview and can discuss topics such as:

How to travel this summer more thoughtfully and purposefully—no matter where you’re going;
Why it’s important to confront your fears head-on when traveling overseas, and how he overcomes his own fears when visiting countries with perceived risks to Americans;
How his travels have inspired his activism in areas such as drug policy reform, affordable housing, and more;
How to put your global outlook into action at home: “Travel becomes a political act only if you actually do something with your broadened perspective once you return home,” says Steves.
