November 18, 2015: Yes, unbelievable as it may be, travel guide guru, (and now money intense Steves brand selling tours, luggage, DVD’s, maps, and other marginal travel items) Rick Steves, refused an interview with the Travel Curmudgeon on a recent speaking tour of Northern California. Seems, according to a Steves PR gatekeeper, he was too busy traveling and if I wanted to speak with him – “well just buy a guide book and stand in line for his autograph—then he might talk to you!” And even better, Steves’ 90-minute travel talk is not so much about travel, but his view on travel politics and more “international freedom” in the legalizing and dissemination of drugs. And no packing demonstration either – buy the DVD if you want that help. By the way, TC open interview policy – no cost to interview (glass or bottle of good wine appreciated)!!!
