This is a tough book to review. The real appeal hear is seeing an early look at a prolific travel writer and business man, through the lens of his 23 year old travels and how that impacted him. But also, this is written by a 23 year old, as the primary text is pulled from his journals of this epic trip he took. Would it have ever been published if it weren't for it being thee Rick Steves? Maybe not. Nonetheless, I felt very inspired reading this, and especially for how I journal my travels!
