Hello and welcome to my blog, Travel for Trees! My name is Nikki Durivage. I am from Milford, New Hampshire. I currently am a junior at Champlain College and majoring in Business and Environmental Policy. After graduating college, I plan to join the Peace Corps.I was raised in a family that loved to travel. Every year we would take a trip to a new place around the world. My step-father was born in the Dominican Republic, so we would also visit his family often. Scuba diving is one of his passions. Naturally, when I was old enough to do so, I dove with him. Now, I am a licensed scuba diver and it is one of my favorite hobbies! This is a picture from my first dive in Boca Chica, Dominican Republic. Photo credit: Treasure Divers (and yes, the corn-rows were a necessity at the age 13 on a tropical island).
Ever since my first scuba diving trip, I fell in love with the ocean. I almost went to school in Hawaii for Marine Biology, but later decided against it. While I do love the ocean, studying it in that way is less important then studying ways to preserve and sustain the natural beauties of the world. However, i'm still very intrigued by all the new findings scientist discover from day to day. One of the most recent videos that has caught my attention was a story about a prehistoric shark being found in Japan. Check this guy out!
The Great Wall of China
Another one of my favorite adventures of all time was a 2 week trip to China. I made many friends and learned a lot about the Chinese culture and religions. Here is my favorite view. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who has ever had interest in seeing The Great Wall. Breathtaking, enjoy!
