What a refreshing book, especially in a category that was (and is) dominated by publications and institutions that are invested in making you want expensive and exclusive accommodations and attractions.&lt;p&gt;He has kind of a upright earnestness, combined with a sort of Germanic devotion to efficiency (&amp;quot;save money by sleeping on the train&amp;quot;; &amp;quot;plan a day&amp;#x27;s activity city-hopping by integrating a few key visits with the train schedule&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;roll your trousers when packing&amp;quot;), that some nerds would generally find appealing.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ve returned to that book several times over the years when I feel like I need an attitude adjustment about how I travel, because it&amp;#x27;s easy to fall into the habit of just booking expensive accommodations.  The result can be one-dimensional.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Rick Steves Wants to Save the World, One Vacation at a Time</title><url>https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/03/20/magazine/rick-steves-travel-world.html</url></story>
