steves: Rick Steves' Europe Episodes for Teaching Data Analysis

Tidy snapshot of every episode of the public-television travel series 'Rick Steves' Europe' (2000-2025), enriched with IMDB ratings, geocoded destinations, ISO country codes, episode thumbnails, and descriptive summaries. Designed as a companion dataset for introductory data analysis and visualization in the spirit of the 'moderndive' textbook: every row is an episode, every column is a candidate for a plot or a join. Compiled from public sources for teaching purposes; not an official or verified 'Rick Steves' Europe' dataset, and shared with the permission of the Rick Steves' Europe team.
