Informationen zum Autor Rick Steves has spent 100 days every year since 1973 exploring Europe. Rick produces a public television series "(Rick Steves' Europe)," a public radio show "(Travel with Rick Steves), " and an app and podcast "(Rick Steves Audio Europe);" writes a bestselling series of guidebooks and a nationally syndicated newspaper column; organizes guided tours that take thousands of travelers to Europe annually; and offers an information-packed website (RickSteves.com).

Pat loves all things Hibernian (except the black pudding) and thrives on the adventures that occur as he annually slogs the bogs in search of new Irish travel discoveries.
