Piece Description
This time, international travel as a catalyst for peace . In Innocents Abroad, Mark Twain wrote, “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” Can visiting a foreign country change your thinking and behavior enough to impact world peace? Could getting to know the survivors of a foreign civil war impact how you live your life back home? Are those long overseas flights that burn massive amounts of fossil fuel worth the investment in peace building? Host Suzanne Kryder talks with Rick Steves, travel writer and author of Travel as a Political Act and Daryl Chinn, board member of US Servas, an international hosting organization about how trips abroad move people’s minds and hearts toward peace. His wife Phyllis Chinn is also featured.
