The Washington Post has called Steve Zikman "the man who wrote the book on wanderlust." Born and raised in Canada, Steve left behind a successful law practice in Toronto to fulfill his dream of setting out on a three-year, around-the-world journey. To date, he has ventured through more than 50 countries on six continents.

Steve's travels have allowed him to trek the Himalayas, welcome the sunrise over the Amazonian jungle, scramble across erupting lava fields in Zaire, and meet with two of the most fascinating figures of our times--Nelson Mandela and Mother Teresa.

Steve is also the author of The Power of Travel: A Passport to Adventure, Discovery and Growth and Doing Good for Goodness' Sake, and co-author of the best-selling series titles Chicken Soup for the Traveler's Soul and Chicken Soup for the Nature Lover's Soul. A member of the American Society of Journalists & Authors (ASJA) and the Collage Artists of America, Steve is also a certified self-esteem facilitator.

Through "Journeys for Attorneys," Steve brings the power of travel to law firms as a tool for inspiration, connection and increased career satisfaction.
