5 of the world's best spots for stand-up paddleboarding
There are hundreds if not thousands of prime destinations across the world to put a stand up paddleboard (SUP) into the water, but here are five of my favorites (along with my reasons why), including several in places you may not have thought of - or even heard of! All all of course have local outfitters who can rent you equipment and also provide excursions. read post

There are a bunch of organizations in Costa Rica, many of them are language schools which offer a social work component. I would suggest though a friend of mine who has done good work for 20 years with street kids and indigenous tribes; her name is Gail Nystrom The Costa Rican Humanitarian Foundation http://www.crhf.org/
How can you hike the Inca Trail for free? If you bring 7 paying ($650 USD each) friends (or enemies, your choice), you hike with 0 impact on your wallet. Must book by Dec. 31, 2010. (because we want your deposit before the end of the year)
Only valid for hikes in April & May, 2011 (because that's when it's most convenient for us!)
What if you don't have 7 friends? Or friends who are employed? Well, not to worry. If you only have 4,5, or 6 paying friends, we feel sorry for you, but you can still come for half price. That's only $325 USD.
4-Day Hike Only. Starts and ends in Cusco, Peru.
We provide:
camping equipment, porters, guides, moleskin and meals on the trail
Hike ends with a grand, guided tour of Machu Picchu (if you're still breathing)
and we get you back to Cusco where we deposit you at your hotel.
This deal works best if you are fit. (or at least under the illusion that you are fit and have 7 wealthy friends who think they are fit!)
