Eco Chick Escapes to Kaua'i: Hiking and Staying in Sustainable Style
The walk from the St. Regis Princeville to the beach. My favorite kind of wedding to attend is, by far, the destination wedding. While an open bar is never not fun, it’s even better if the drinks are located in a country that takes a passport to get into. And…
Lindsay's Going to Costa Rica: Advice and Recommendations Needed!
After a long day last week, and a green event to cap off the night, I checked my mail right before I entered the subway and one particular email caught me off guard. It seemed way too good to be true. So I re-read it, and even walked back up…

Harvest Time! Eco Chick Escapes to Stowe, Vermont for Waterhole Swimming, Hiking and Farmer's Marketing
Along with the ‘big city’ of Burlington, Stowe is the epitome of Vermont’s many facets; conscious, cosmopolitan and cozy. I love visiting the Green Mountain state any time of year (well, except mud season!) but there’s no time like August, September and October for a trip to what I think…

Conscious in the Caribbean: Bucuti and Tara Beach Resorts
There are always enough chairs and shade on Bucuti’s portion of the beautiful Eagle Beach! A low density of guests ensures no annoying overcrowding on the beach or anywhere else at the resort. I love the Caribbean, from the Virgin Islands (British and US) to the Antilles and the Bahamas,…
Lara Miller: Eco Fashion's Quick Change Artist
Eco Fashion designer Lara Miller is an Eco Chick fave; her supermodern, often convertible, sensuously romantic, yet travel-friendly designs are deceptively simple but always on point. Lara says she didn’t plan her designs for the travelling types (though they suit us so well), but that her ideas come from a…
Westfalia’s SuperGreen Eco Van: This Ain’t No Hippie-Mobile!
Twenty years ago when I travelled all over the country to see the Grateful Dead, I always thought it would be cool to have a Westfalia VW van to travel around in. Cruising the parking lot of a show I loved to poke my head in the Westfalia’s, checking them…
Green in Paris
So I think I have used up my allotment of fossil fuels for at least the remainder of this year, or more likely the next decade. Why? My husband surprised me with a birthday trip to Paris last weekend. Americans have a love/hate relationship with the French. So of course…
