Review
This book is packed with off-the-beaten-track adventures that minimize environmental impact. Flipping to any page to find a prospect like Walk with rhinos at Leshiba or Pick a Papaya in Sri Lanka makes for lush material for either planning or daydreaming. --Sierra Magazine s blog

Clean Breaks: 500 new ways to see the world (Rough Guide Travel Guides) by Jeremy Smith and Richard Hammond

Kiwi Magazine Review:
While reading about all of these amazing `green' adventures, I was positively green with envy. Oh, to be one of these two authors! I devoured this book, adding destination after destination to my bucket list. Having been a Peace Corps volunteer in Slovakia, I did have to laugh out loud at the one listing for my old home; the listing says that the destination is easily accessible from Krakow and Budapest. So, I peeked at many of the other places I have traveled like Transylvania (Romania), Kenya, Uganda, Turkey and dozens of others. I decided that I may need to take some of the authors' advice with the tiniest grain of dead sea salt.
