The Autobahn or the Corniche seem to be more Rick Steves' speed, but he's about to embark on a great American road trip.

The guru of European travel is going to be turning up in some unexpected places: Boise, Dayton and Des Moines are all on the list.

Steves will launch his 20-city road trip in Richland, Wash. on March 3. He joins Kerri Miller Wednesday to talk about his plans.
