Eco-tourism

I love to travel. I love to experience new cultures and see animals in the wild I normally would only see in a zoo.

In November, I traveled to Churchill, Manitoba, Canada to see polar bears in the wild. I went with Natural Habitat Adventures (check them out here), the world's first carbon neutral travel company. The entire trip was amazing, and I think about the trip frequently. Even though that was only a few months ago, I am already thinking about my next trip. I believe in eco-tourism, and I think that showing people that travelers will spend lots of money to go look at nature is a good way to convince people to protect nature. So imagine how ecstatic I was when I read this: Natural Habitat Adventures is proud to be the innovator of an arctic adventure vacation that not only allows wildlife lovers an incredibly moving experience, but also helps to protect baby harp seals through ecotourism. There’s no better way to experience this great migration and see harp seal herds in their natural habitat (NatHab.com). Yup, that's right, NatHab is taking a small group of travelers to the Magdalen Islands to see those adorable fluffy little white baby harp seals! I am so there!!!!!
