I bought this as a present for someone, and started to read it before posting it - and ended up buying myself a copy as well.... It is full of useful details about every corner of the world, and a great read whether you are planning a specific trip or happily daydreaming about possible travels. Would make a great Xmas present for someone...

Bored of "fly and flop" holidays where you only see the inside of the plane and the side of a pool? Clean Breaks offers a new way to travel, where the journey itself is half the fun and when you arrive you get something special and different - a travel experience that has not already been done before. This book is jam-packed with cool encounters to suit all tastes and all budgets. Ride the Trans Mongolian Express, try eco-ski-ing, take a foodie walking tour of southern Italy, sleep in a fabulous tree-house hotel or (tempting, this) watch pink dolphins in Hong Kong!
You can book any of these top adventures with a clean conscience. Not only are the 500 incredible experiences suggested in this guide fun, they are all environmentally and socialy responsible as well. (Don't for a minute think this means donning a hair shirt - chic accommodation and luxury lodges are yours for the booking). Clean Breaks doesn't preach about the planet but simply suggests fantastic places to visit which happen to be green.
Whether you're volunteering at a griffon sanctuary or chilling on a 'star bed' under the night sky in Kenya, sleep easy knowing they have done all the research to ensure that your awesome holiday will not harm the planet.
