Seriously, is there any more geekier travel guy than RS? His corny literary-esque commentary reeks of geek and the rare moments of actual non-geek humor in any of his shows are purely unintentional. Most of his audience is obviously made up of the neophyte-traveling seasoned citizen types. But I'm astounded that he's managed to tap into such a large audience of 'em. But what really torks me is that this geek is spending half of every year living the good life traveling around Europe while apparently not bothering to learn how to say much more than a please and a thank you in each language while I sit with my 4 languages watching from a couch in Oregon. I tip my hat to ye Rickster. Oh that I could be half the geeky traveler you are!!
