Travelers spend a lot of time dreaming of the places they've just got to see while they're able.

And guess what? Someone's already made a list for you.

Hi, I'm Rick Steeves, and in a moment Patricia Schultz joins us to offer a little inspiration for new adventures far and near.

She's the woman who compiled a list of the 1,000 places to see before you die.

That's the name of her book and it quickly became one of the best-selling travel books of all time.

I wanted each of the thousand places to be many adventures.

Patricia Schultz is our guest to encourage us to visit some of the breathtaking places on our planet while we still have a

breath to take and later in the hour we'll open the phones for your reports of

places you visited where you felt an unusually strong connection to the world beyond.

Whether it brought you goosebumps or just peaked your imagination,

let us know about scary encounters from your travels.

Happy Halloween, it's Travel with Rick Steves.

We're making the most out of the time we've each been given on this planet by getting a taste of some of its wide-ranging flavors and astounding beauty today on Travel with Rick Steeves.

There are millions of possibilities to sort through to pick your next travel destination,
