How does a nice soak in a geothermal spring sound right about now?

There are many scenic spas you can visit that people have been enjoying for centuries.

As Greta Rebus knows, hot springs can be a real highlight of any trip to Europe or Asia.

There is still this hunger and excitement for those geothermal parts of the world.

Coming up, she takes us to a few of her favorite hot springs in Europe.

On the other hand, Tom Tursich had a goal to be one of the few people to walk all the way around the world.

You need to cover the circumference of the earth and then walk ocean to ocean on four continents.

He tells us how it changed his life. Over

seven years, 28,000 miles, 34 pairs of shoes, and with a faithful dog at his side. Traveling teaches

you to be really good company to yourself, because if you're not, then it's a bad time. Come along

and embrace the moment with us for the hour ahead. It's Travel with Rick Steams.

It was going to be the adventure of a lifetime,

and a remarkable feat that few others have dared to try.

You could call it a really long walk,

one that would take him across 38 countries on six continents

through deserts, jungles, cities, and mountains. And it would show Tom Tersich what the world

and its cultures could teach him about the value of living day-to-day. Tom's one of the few people

to walk all the way around the world. He tells us how he did it in just a bit.

But let's start out today's travel with Rick Steves on a more indulgent note with photographer Greta Rivas.

Growing up in Idaho and Japan,

Greta's always had a hot spot for thermal waters and community baths.

She takes us along to some of the world's most compelling thermal pools, springs, and spas.
