What do you love about traveling?

When Martin Sheen went on location overseas to film movies he starred in,

it often showed him the stark realities many people have to live with.

Coming up, he explains how it motivated him to get politically active in trying

to make a difference. I knew that I would never be the same, ever, and you don't want to be

the same. The first time astronomer Philip Plate gazed through a telescope at Saturn,

he knew it was love at first sight.

Seeing that little disk surrounded by those rings,

it was one of the most amazing things I had ever seen. He shares what

we've been learning lately about the ringed planet. Tony Mizaglia leads food tours

along the streets of Florence. She tells us about her favorite culinary traditions in Tuscany.

That's part of their culture, that's who they are, and if you don't try the things they love,

you're never going to truly understand those people.

The flavors of Florence, the dazzle of Saturn and Martin Sheen's life-changing travels. It's all in the hour ahead on

travel with Rick Steve's. A job that requires you to travel overseas can open your eyes to other realities from the ones you're used to seeing at home.

What Martin Sheen witnessed outside the filming set helped to change his view of the world and his place in it.

In just a bit he tells us what opened his heart to the needs of others, and later in the hour

we'll enjoy a taste of the hearty foods of Tuscany. Let's start today's travel with

Rick Steve's from out of this world with a focus on one of our most beguiling

neighbors in the solar system. A mere bright yellow-looking star to the bare eye, the reality of Saturn is a large

planet with vast rings and a multitude of moons each one different. It's the

planet that most inspires young space explorers
