One of the most exciting new travel mags on the Web is Perceptive Travel, launched by the talented wanderer/editor Tim Leffel. Tim has reworked and republished a couple of my recent environmental stories, both written originally for Seacology.

OnEarth is the beautiful, award-winning magazine of the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC). In the magazine’s Fall 2006 "Living Green" column, I write about a recent "volunteer vacation" in Koh Chang, Thailand — where I discovered that a wet suit can also be a business suit.
