This week, Ira spoke with Lucas Peters, author of "Grand European Journeys, 40 Unforgettable Trips By Road, Rail, Sea & More." In this sightseeing episode of “Ira’s Everything Bagel,” Lucas talks about being the Morocco expert who then was asked to write this European book; why the format of the book was collaborative; taking classic rail trips; the benefits of sleeper trains (for meeting people and saving money); why travel should be fun; the importance of adventure travel; his favorite itinerary from the book; the most unusual group he curated a trip for through his boutique agency (Journey Beyond Travel); his love of typewriters; balancing his writing, traveling, family and business; and the challenge of putting the book together with such a wide range of journeys through Europe.
