Eco Tourism

It's time for a mid-winter escape from the Adirondacks. And what better destination than Costa Rica? For the second year in a row my wife and I are venturing to the jewel of Central America with in-laws for ten incredibdle days at the Four Seasons Peninsula Papagayo. After that we join our friends Amy and Brian who winter in Tamarindo, but unlike last year when we fired straight off to Nosara, this year we're headed inland to Lake Arenal. Volcano. Hot springs. Windsurfing. Then down to Tamarindo for some surf, surf, surfing!

Friends and colleagues join John Davis in preparation for the next leg of TrekEast through Everglades National Park. In this video they discuss supplies needed for their canoe journey.

As part of Green Week, today’s post is all about greener travel tips. Travel is a big part of my life; it’s my passion and hopefully my new career. As I prepare for my RTW (round-the-world) trip later this year I’ve being paying more attention to being “GREEN” and how to decrease my carbon footprint. But enough talk, here is a list of 101 Greener Travel Tips (If you have additional tips, please share them with the rest of us by leaving a comment). These tips are in no particular order, they were recorded as they come to mind, or were suggested by some of my twitter followers.
