What a great anecdote!

Once upon an early trip, on a visit to Afghanistan, I was sitting in a Kabul cafeteria when a local man sat down next to me. He said, "You're an American, aren't you?" I said, "Yes," and he said, "Well, I'm a professor here in Afghanistan. I want you to know that a third of the people on this planet eat with spoons and forks like you, a third of the people eat with chopsticks, and a third of the people eat with fingers like me. And we're all civilized just the same."

As he clearly had a chip on his shoulder about this, I simply thought, "OK, OK, I get it." But I didn't get it…at least, not right away. Then, after leaving Afghanistan, I traveled through South Asia, and I decided to take his message to heart. I went to fancy restaurants filled with well-dressed professionals. Rather than providing silverware, they had a ceremonial sink in the middle of the room, so people could wash their hands and use their fingers for what God made them for. And I did the same.

That professor's hunch was right: I thought less of people who ate with their fingers. Then, through thoughtful travel, I learned otherwise.

By staying home, it's easy for us to cling to our fork-forward mindset, like I did. Home is convenient, familiar, and comfortable. But staying home also means eating the same food, going to the same places, and seeing the same people — who generally look and think a lot like you — over and over again. It's no wonder we tend to think we are the norm. By traveling, we open ourselves to new cuisines, new cultures, new ideas — even culture shock. And culture shock is a good thing…the growing pains of a broader perspective. It just needs curation. And at Rick Steves' Europe, equipping you with the tools to become a global citizen...that's just what we do.

In this month's edition of Travel News, I'm sharing my tips on traveling like a temporary local, celebrating thoughtful travel with a little video about why we travel, and giving you a rundown of the documents you'll need to travel to Europe next year. (Have you heard you can now renew your American passport online?) And Cameron Hewitt writes an ode to the cute cats he met on a recent trip to Greece. It’s all available right here: www.ricksteves.com/news.

My eating-with-my-fingers epiphany reminded me that I’m not just a citizen of the land I call home…but a citizen of a diverse planet where we’re all civilized just the same. And that, for me, is a souvenir worth taking home. We’d love to help you curate your travel dreams in 2025.

Keep on travelin’!
