fun links

If you have time to waste, check out the new links i posted:

BirdLife International is the equivalent of WWW for birds with the goal of conservation of birds around the world. Great articles on birds in local & exotic places and programs that make a difference.

RSPB is a bird conservation group based in Britain. Fantastic bird photo gallery which was my mainstay when first moved to Belgium. When I discovered this organization I wanted to move to England!

FATbirder has great bird resources - anything you want to know about birds or equipment, books you need to find.

Travelling birder has bird trip reports so if you're planning to go to Thailand, for instance, you can download bunches of reports and maybe even find someone to meet up and bird with while you're there!

Responsible travel is an ecotourist travel group that will help you find eco-friendly accomodation and holidays. We found a wonderful guesthouse in Portugal (www.monterosaportugal.com) through them!

Slow travel has been popular in Europe for ages but is slowly catching on with the rest of the world. Visit here to learn about the philosophy, read trip reports and get ideas on how to travel slowly. Awesome!

enjoy!

is anyone having trouble with the links? Laura mentioned she couldn't connect, but my computer incompetency is limiting my ability to figure out WHY. Oh well, there's always google if you're highly motivated. I DO love slowtrav.com for their trip reports, which i didn't mention because i just added it. Can waste loads of time reading about the world!
