(1888PressRelease) December 16, 2010 - Billings, MT - Austin-Lehman Adventures has revealed its most diverse collection of active adventures to date. In it's just released catalog, the award-winning adventure travel company showcases tours in 28 countries, including new for 2011, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and South Pacific in addition to the Americas, Europe and Africa.

New for 2011, Austin-Lehman (http://www.austinlehman.com/) has grouped their offerings into three distinct categories; Adventure Vacations, Biking Tours and Family Vacations. Each and every trip underscores getting to know a destination on well-paced explorations rather than a "London today and Rome tomorrow" approach to travel.

Following is an overview of where and when Austin-Lehman Adventures will travel in 2011 and with what type of tour. (**Indicates new for 2011.)
