Steve Lantos took his first trip to the White Mountains of New Hampshire in 1974 and has lived in the Boston area since 1977. After earning a B.S. degree from the University of Michigan, Steve returned to Boston, first as a door-to-door canvasser for an environmental lobbying group; after completing an M.A. from Tufts University, he took up teaching high school chemistry in Brookline, Massachusetts, where he's been working since 1985. Vacations and summers were left to travel, and travel he did, journeying through Eastern Europe in search of family roots, Scandinavia, the Andes Mountains and Amazonian jungles of Ecuador, Central America, Mexico, and throughout Southeast Asia and Indonesia, meeting more people in unusual places than he'll ever be able to recall. Steve led tour groups over several summers for Pan American Airlines across the former Soviet Union, departing from his last tour the morning before the 1991 coup d'état in Moscow. One particular travel interest of Steve's has been discovering separated societies and forbidden lands, which took him to Berlin (from the East German side) as the Wall fell, Cuba, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Steve has written about budget travel in columns for several publications and in 1987 began a self-published newsletter, Travel Unlimited, detailing cheap international air travel and devoted to bucking the big bucks airlines demand for seeing the world.
   But Steve's travels far and wide have always brought him back to New England and New Hampshire's North Country. Signing on with Moon united a love of the land with a desire to share travel with others. Between the school year, writing, and teaching budget travel along the East Coast, Steve enjoys reading, a neighborhood Vietnamese bowl of phô, and river walks to feed the ducks with his young daughter, Danielle.
