Like the sound of travelling with Rickshaw? Here are just a few of the things you can do while you're away...
Costa Rica: Trek wildlife-filled and mist-shrouded forests, spending time with pineapple farmers and local families, learning about Tico life.
Thailand: Watch elephants at a responsible nature park in Chiang Mai, try your hand at shrimp-fishing, learn to weave with a local family and sleep in the untamed jungles of Khao Sok.
Cuba: Stay in a family-run casa, visiting the rustic cigar region of Viñales, as well as an eco-village surrounded by coffee fields. Then escape into the lush green mountains of the Sierra Maestra, where Che Guevara and Fidel Castro plotted the revolution.
India: Learn about rural life at a fair-wage community in the heart of Rajasthan, sleeping in 300-year-old fort. Visit Periyar National Park, seeing elephants and wild boars in the jungle, or drive into Nepal and sample traditional food and remote countryside.
Borneo: Experience tourism as a force for good by learning the centuries-old traditions of the Iban tribe. Then stay in a treehouse in the rainforest and travel along the nearby river, all the while looking out for wild apes, crocodiles and possibly even Irrawaddy dolphins.
