code green from lonely planet gives girlawhirl a whole new way to look at traveling
Jan 10, 2008

For as much as she loves seeing new places and experiencing different cultures, Girlawhirl, like most of the other people she knows whose job keeps them on the road a lot, has a bit of a love-hate relationship with travel. Sometimes she'd rather be at home and the idea of getting on an airplane or staying in another hotel, even for a vacation, just doesn't appeal…

That's when she knows she needs an attitude adjustment. And Lonely Planet's Code Green: Experiences of a Lifetime by Kerry Lorimer is a great way to get one. It's a collection of about 100 diverse travel experiences - from whale watching to learning how not to stare in the Kalahari Desert - that all follow three principles. Each trip allows that travelers are immersed in the culture they visit, the community benefits and the environment is left unscathed.

 

The trips outlined in the book remind Girlawhirl why she really does love to travel and each one is accompanied by Responsible Travel Credentials explaining what makes them fit the criteria set forth above. And as with all Lonely Planet books, the images are spectacular and the information, which includes the best time of year to visit and specifics on getting there, is reliable and well researched.

 

Girlawhirl found Lonely Planet's Code Green: Experiences of a Lifetime, by Kerry Lorimer in her online shopping mall at barnesandnoble.com.
