Rick Steves, author of travel guidebooks and host of the public television series Rick Steves' Europe, explains why he has come to view travel as a force for peace in the September issue of The Rotarian. Steves believes encouraging young people to travel, such as through Rotary Youth Exchange and Peace Fellowships, is one of the most practical investments we can make in peace. Says, Steves, "people to people connections help us learn that we can disagree and still coexist peacefully."
