Travel for many of us means ticking off the sights we've always wanted to see, loading up on souvenirs, and heading home not much more educated about the countries we visit. One veteran travel writer has ideas on how to change the way we travel.

Guests

  • Doug Lansky: Travel writer for magazines and newspapers. His latest travel books include "The Rough Guide to Travel Survival" and "Signspotting." He used to write a travel humor column for the St. Paul Pioneer Press. A Minnesota native, he lives in Stockholm, Sweden.
