| Dear Traveler, I’m traveling through Ethiopia and Guatemala right now, and I’m excited to bring you along! I'm here to learn about the fundamentals of extreme poverty and smart development — and to scout locations for a new one-hour public television special about world hunger. All along the way this month, I’ll be connecting with smart and passionate people working on the ground in the developing world, where economies are kindling like never before. There’s a lot to learn and a lot to share, so follow my progress on facebook or my travel blog. Happy travels, Rick Steves |
