HEALTH & SAFETY: WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE WEAR A FACE MASK WHILE INDOORS FOR OUR EVENTS. THANK YOU. Who doesn't dream of having Rick Steves' life? Traveling throughout the world for a living, cranking out best-selling guidebooks, and hosting one of the most enduring shows on PBS? Irresistible. His appeal crosses generations, demographics, politics, and those who favor wine over beer. So how did Rick catch that travel bug? In his new book, On the Hippie Trail, Istanbul to Katmandu: The Making of a Travel Writer, he tells us of this transformative journey. Forty five years later, he reflects on that trip, including adventures only a guy like Rick could get away with-- in Tehran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, and Nepal.  Rick will not only discuss The Hippie Trail, but will discuss the concept of travel as a political act, about the need to get out of our comfort zones and talk to people who live where we travel. Only then can we develop empathy and return home with a broadened cultural and social perspective.   Moderator to be announced. Did you know that you can make a fully tax-deductible donation?

Santa Monica Beach, a gem set in the California sun, caressed the heartstrings of every traveler with its endless charm. It is like a delicate watercolor painting, slowly spread on the vast Pacific Ocean, a mile long golden sand beach, under the sunset glow of warmth and softness. Here, every fine sand seems to carry the story, and every wave of the light is the whisper of nature. Walking along this romantic coastline, you can feel time as if it has slowed down, people forget the hustle and bustle, and indulge in this tranquility and beauty. Santa Monica Beach is not only a breathtaking landscape, but also a vibrant and fun paradise. From the first rays of sunshine in the morning to the low-hanging stars at night, whether it is the passion challenge of surfers or the dream castle that children build on the beach, it constitutes a unique landscape. The historic Santa Monica pier, like a kind old man, quietly waited for the sea. As night fell, the bright lights on the Ferris wheel and the stars reflected, as if leading people into a dreamy fairy tale world. The surrounding area, the wisdom and tranquility of the chess park, the splendor and leisure of the Palisade Park, all add endless cultural heritage and natural charm to this beach. Santa Monica Beach, a place that people yearn for, it uses beauty and romance to weave the most tender memories in the hearts of every visitor.
