| The Americas’ Greenest | Costa Rica and eco-travel have long been synonymous. And for good reason. Although smaller than West Virginia, this tiny Central American country is home to nearly five percent of all species on Earth, and over 25 percent of the Costa Rica has been permanently protected as national parks or nature [...]

| Natural Green Magic | When we arrive, it’s like time traveling back, oh, a generation or so. This funky little artist enclave of Port Orford, the oldest town in Oregon, is barely 60 miles north into the Beaver State, yet three hours to anywhere. It’s quiet. Quirky. “Where Northern Exposure meets Lake Woebegon,” we [...]

| Sacred, Shocking Sustainability | I weave my motorcycle down a narrow, potholed road past exquisitely terraced rice paddies and through a tiny village. This is Bali, but not the Bali of the island’s highly trafficked locales—and I feel deliciously remote from the bustle even though Kuta and Ubud are each only thirty minutes away, [...]

| Greening On A Farm | To the outside world, the state of Karnataka is best known for its capital city of Bangalore, the high-tech hub of India where you have probably connected by phone or chat with an eager soul who wants to offer you excellent service on that problem with your laptop or [...]

| Central Europe’s Eco-treasure | Church bells herald my arrival at the Bohinj Park Hotel, the starting point of my green tour of Slovenia. That’s not unusual; in this predominantly Catholic country, ornate church steeples overlook almost every town and village. What’s jarring is walking into the lobby of a five-star, 102-room luxury hotel in [...]

| Yeow! It’s Green | I’m in Nepal, almost into Tibet, in search of the perfect blend of eco-conscious adventure and relaxation. In the pristine mountainous region of Panglang, on a high cliff-top gorge above the wild Bhotekosi River, I find exactly what I’m looking for. The Last Resort. As a place to chill out [...]

| A Mendo Wowie | There’s no mistaking the green of Mendocino. We don’t mean the color, of course, though the moods of this Northern California coastline transform ordinary chlorophyll into a pulsating emerald-on-acid. No, we mean our kind of green. And fellow green travelers, here in Mendo you just let out a big sigh [...]

| The North Shore | This is more like it. At first glance, Maui seems a bit of a puzzler for the green traveler. It’s been too successfully marketed as a paradise of luxury resorts and world-class golf, neither of which have historically fostered much in the way of earth friendliness. These are concentrated almost [...]
