Venturing beyond Europe, and with local experts as his guides, Rick uses Ethiopia as a classroom for understanding global hunger and extreme poverty — and how to beat it. Together, we witness the importance of water, education, empowering women, and nutrition during a child's first thousand days. And we see firsthand the impact of globalization and climate change. Our souvenir: A vivid appreciation of how ending hunger is possible — and how smart and modern development aid is the key.

In this unforgettable voyage, join Rick Steves on a tour of four of Europe's most intriguing and surprising islands — from the Mediterranean to Scotland: Malta, Capri, Orkney, and Skye. We'll take an island-hopping adventure to remote beaches, Crusader castles, a Blue Grotto, prehistoric wonders, and salty traditional island lifestyles. This membership special is sure to stoke both your travel dreams and your appreciation of public television. All aboard!
