It seems the best way to learn new things these days is to turn on YouTube. Learning about foreign countries with professional and amateur content creators is a great way to pass the time. But, where else can you look for quality travel information?
One of our first resources was Rick Steves. Born and residing near Seattle, Washington, Rick built an empire of authentic travel resources with the primary focus being Europe because that is where people seemed interested in visiting.
