Where in the world have you been?

No. Seriously. Where have you been? Recently, my friend Ersela asked me if the blog had any place for people who traveled Green Postcards-style to share their experiences. I'm working on trying to get a discussion board up, but in the mean time, consider yourself invited to guest-post. Yeah, I mean you. Let's say you've recently gone to, oh, Kenya, and you have fabulous pictures to share and some advice on traveling green and cheap (you know who you are!). All you've got to do is e-mail me at greenpostcards AT gmail.com. We'll put you on the official GP calendar, and you'll be a published (blog) travel writer in no time. Plus, you'll give me a day or two off. Which is nice of you. Seriously. Where have you been?

Come back tomorrow when the surf is up in Nicaragua!

Secluded (and sustainable) breaks at Los Cardones Surf Lodge If you follow the (very) involved directions, which take you down Pacific Coast dirt roads and through a cattle ranch, you will eventually find Los Cardones Surf Lodge, six bungalows on a stretch of empty Nicaraguan beach with breaks that belong to the lodge’s guests alone. The lodge’s accommodations are simple, so are the all-inclusive rates, and that’s the point: Simple surf hospitality with a strong under-current of sustainability. Los Cardones is run completely on solar power. Grey water is recycled; the toilets are composting. Kitchen waste is composted, too, and tin cans and some plastics are recycled. (One of the lodge’s current projects is increasing plastic recyclability.) The lodge’s buildings were made from local and eco-friendly materials like palm fronds, driftwood, “fast-growth” wood, and bricks. The buildings were designed to blend in with the forest; the lodge is keeping seven acres of land as a wildlife habitat. Anne Laure...
