Recognized tour author and public television host, Rick Steves, Europe Through the Back Door, gave a lecture "Travel as a Political Act," about how travel has changed his perspectives on the United States' role in the world, at Augsburg College, as a guest speaker.  "Travel helps us celebrate differences and overcome misunderstandings -- big and little -- between people," says Steves. "Travel paints a human face on our globe, making the vast gap between rich and poor vivid."

"The only tour company I actually support as a participant is the Center for Global Education.  Impressed by their local connections and expert local staff, I have traveled with them on three tours (1989, 1991, and 2005) and count these travel experiences as some of the best in my life."
