Travel guru Rick Steves donates housing complex
Everybody says if you consume more, you're happier. But that's not the mark of a very thoughtful person,” says Rick Steves.
For more than twenty-five years Steves has hosted the most popular travel series on P-B-S. He's also earned a fortune with his best-selling European travel guides.
But money --as they say--isn't everything.
Which is why we're meeting him at Trinity Place, a housing complex Steves has owned since 2005. Its residents are 24 struggling women and kids who need transitional housing and the kind of services the Y-W-C-A provides.

Steves, 61, figured the complex would make a great retirement nest egg. In the meantime he could do a lot of good.
“I get huge joy out of going to bed thinking 'Hey I'm helping house 70 people that would be in cars or motels or in people's basements scrounging around'”, says Steves.
He'd always planned to will Trinity Place to the YWCA. But the other day Steves changed his mind. He's donating his nest egg --the complex-- right now, while he's alive.
