WEBSITE OF THE DAY: Rick Steves Video

A couple of weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to have dinner with one of my travel gurus, Rick Steves. We both spoke at the Los Angeles Times Travel & Adventure Show. A few days later, a reader forwarded me a YouTube clip featuring an interview with Rick Steves, in which he speaks candidly about faithful travel. I think any traveler, regardless their religion, will gain from his insight and positive message so if you have about 10 minutes, sit back, listen and learn.

About Me

Name: Johnny Jet

Location: Los Angeles, CA, United States

I used to be afraid to fly (long story). Moved to California from Connecticut at 21-- that's when I conquered my fear. In college I started dating a bona fide princess from Hong Kong. She was accustomed to flying Biz Class. I had ONLY flown coach -- and I had never been overseas. When she invited me home, I couldn't let the opportunity slip by. I (okay, my dad) bought the seat next to her from a consolidator. I picked the right time to have my first out-of-coach experience. WOW! What a difference-- A nice phat seat, some hot towels, a little sorbet to clean the palate, non-stop food, beverages and movies. When I returned to the U.S. I felt like a new man. I started working as a college recruiter. While traveling my 26-state territory on a tight budget, I learned traveling in style on a budget was possible. I started a weekly newsletter and JohnnyJet.com to share my tips. Three months later USAToday made JohnnyJet.com website of the week and now it's my full time job.
