Summary: Favorite travel book!
Review: Has a description of many alternatives to tourist travel: inexpensive language schools, eco tourism, volunteer programs, holistic centers etc. with names, addresses, phone numbers and everything you need to make arrangements. Motivated and influenced by this book I took an "education" vacation to Lucca, Italy in 1998 and took Italian language lessons at a school and stayed with an Italian family; this is my overall favorite vacation due to coming in contact with the native culture, language and making friends at the school to experience a foreign country with others.

Summary: A Terrific Almanac of Travel--Very Useful
Review: This is a wonderful book, but Amazon's got it wrong. It's by Arthur Frommer himself. Not by George McDonald. It delves into all facets of the travel industry except for the traditional or conventional forms of travel. It's for people with adventurous spirits who want to find out learn a foreign language while traveling, or do volunteer work abroad, or visit an intentional community. A fascinating book with lots of good ideas.
