On Location August 2007 – North Korea
(Wed Jun 17th, 2009, by Steppes Travel)
This was my third trip. I first visited in the late 1980s and was curious to see what changes I would find. Talk is always of the regime collapsing especially after the demise of Communism around the world however as its neighbours slowly embraced ca... |

On Location August 2007 – Mongolia 2
(Wed Jun 17th, 2009, by Steppes Travel)
I had a fabulous time on my holiday in Mongolia with my Dad. The day after we arrived in Mongolia, we went on a five day Yak Trek. I thought that was a great trip even if I had to share a yurt (Mongolian tent) with my Dad. One morning, we looked out ... |

On Location August 2007 – Mongolia
(Wed Jun 17th, 2009, by Steppes Travel)
This was a trip with a difference. I had not been to Mongolia since the late 1980s and even then had only stopped in Ulaanbaatar, the capital, whilst passing through en route to China. What changes would I notice? Two things that I always remember fr... |

On Location August 2007 – India (2)
(Wed Jun 17th, 2009, by Steppes Travel)
I begrudgingly left the family home after a sumptuous breakfast - I hope to return again soon - and headed further south to a change in scenery. What had been stark and flat, now turned into hills rising out of the plains. After travelling for 2 ½ h... |

On Location August 2007 – India (1)
(Wed Jun 17th, 2009, by Steppes Travel)
India has always struck me as a unique melting pot of class, religion, language, scenery and culture, within a single country, which makes it incomparable to any other destination one may visit and continues to enchant me. I was delighted to revisit... |

On Location August 2007 – Goa
(Wed Jun 17th, 2009, by Steppes Travel)
This was my first visit to India. I had few expectations of such a vast and complex country, and even fewer of Goa, a place I have heard described very differently by everyone who visits it. Hence I had not given Goa much thought until it was time to... |

On Location August 2007 – Brazil
(Wed Jun 17th, 2009, by Steppes Travel)
It's late and I am tired, but as soon as I board the TAM flight from Heathrow to Sao Paulo, it's as if I'm there already. The atmosphere on the plane oozed 'Brazil': everyone was standing, people chatted loudly and the hostesses were entertaining the... |

Green Hotels: Serving Man and the Environment
(Wed Jun 17th, 2009, by M. Scott Parisi)
We all are well aware about the fact of increasing global warming and its causes with the consequences. The day by day increase in all kind of pollution is becoming a deliberate reason for global warming to increase rapidly. And to overcome the ill-e... |

On Location August 2007 – Botswana
(Wed Jun 17th, 2009, by Steppes Travel)
In May I was lucky enough to go back to Botswana. Having last been there in the heat of December at the end of the dry season it was fantastic to go in the cool of the end of the rains and see the Delta begin to fill up with the annual flood waters... |

On Location August 2007 – Australia
(Wed Jun 17th, 2009, by Steppes Travel)
I was hugely excited to be returning to Australia, especially as my itinerary included some remote areas that many people never get to see. Where did I go? Well perhaps it is easier to say which states of Australia I didn't go to rather than those I ... |
