What does it mean to “travel as a political act” to you?

Part 1: Rick Steves talks about the idea of “travel as a political act” in his book chapter and “the value of travel” in his TedTalk. What does it mean to “travel as a political act” to you? In your opinion, what is the value of travel in your own life? Make sure to specifically engage with Steves’ ideas and specifically reference course material in your response. Part 2: **Hint, this part of the discussion assignment will help you build toward your final project. I suggest choosing a destination that you might want to use for your final project as well. :)Have you ever seen Anthony Bourdain’s television shows, The Layover or Parts Unknown or No Reservations? In each of these shows, Anthony Bourdain travels to a location to travel, eat, and explore the politics and culture of a region. It could be argued that he travels as a political act in a similar way that Rick Steves does. Here is a 2-minute clip from Parts Unknown: Columbia to give you an idea about his shows if you have never seen one. Notice the cinematography, his choice of dining establishments, and his discussion of the current political climate.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNiF0R1QJpkIn Anthony Bourdain’s The Layover, Anthony Bourdain explores a city in 48 hours. Choose any destination in the world. Imagine you are going to travel as a political act to that destination for 48 hours (your choice). Research the destination and create a 48 hour itinerary that you plan to follow as an ethical traveler. Where will you stay? What will you do? Where will you eat? How will you travel from place to place? If you plan on traveling abroad in the near future, I suggest that you pick a destination you will be soon visiting.
