Rick Steves expressed that his career as a travel writer has affected his personal relationships negatively, saying, "It has not been good for my family. I got divorced."
Reflecting on his life choices, Steves shared, "You know, I would love to be the person I was before I was a travel writer. I would have had a very, very beautiful life being a piano teacher..."
Steves sees his travel writing as a calling, stating, "It's almost a calling from a pastoral sense or something... it gives me energy. It's like breathing straight oxygen."
Contemplating life beyond travel, Steves noted, "I would welcome the day, strangely, when I could not travel anymore... I’ve got a great piano sitting here. I don’t play it enough."
