Best of the WeekIt’s time to wrap up the week now with our favourite links from around the web. Enjoy!

Timen is offering a free download of his new photography book “My First Experience,” showcasing images from Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. I highly recommend you grab a copy of this stunning collection before everyone uses up his bandwidth.

Where The Hell Is Matt? is back…with outtakes. And wouldn’t you know it, he’s getting sponsored to go on another “dancing” trip around the world, and asking YOU to join him.

“Aldous Huxley was right. To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries,” writes Jeff Greenwald as he muses about the definition of ethical travel. (via World Hum)

As if torn from the pages of a sci-fi book, Wired writes Could Crazy Technology Save the Planet? revealing the number of bizarre and bewildering solutions being considered to combat global warming.

Fortunately, Eyeflare put together 5 Eco Friendly Travel Habits we should all consider as we set out into the world and work to minimize our environmental impact.

Lastly, brush up on your travel photo skills with How to Make a Killer Photo using 8 Simple Composition Rules

Have a great weekend!

    I loved the article Jeff Greenwald wrote about ethical traveling. This has been on my mind for quite some time but Jeff sums it up perfectly and very simplistically.

    I enjoyed his article as well. He captured the idea of ethical traveling as a respect for your hosts and the environment. Let’s hope it doesn’t become just another buzz word.
