Angkor Picnics, Chinese Earthquakes, and Vermont Greens The July issue of Perceptive Travel is up now so go check it out.
Michael Buckley returns with a tale of picnicking among the ruins of
Angkor Wat in Cambodia. David Drotar travels just up the road from his
home to see just how green the greens are in Vermont. Guidebook writer
Carolyn B. Heller makes her debut with a story about being in
China during the massive earthquake of May, 2008. We're taking a
different tack with the book reviews this issue:
Marie Javins gives us
a new slant for book reviews: an insider's perspective on what graphic novels are out there taking on
the travel genre..
See the current issue page.

Our New Site Design - and Kudos As promised, we've been rolling out a whole new page design for Perceptive Travel. We think it's a bit cleaner, a bit more contemporary, but still easy to read and navigate. Hope you like it!

took a first place in a contest for members of
the Atlantic-Caribbean chapter of the Society of American Travel
