While most people spend their holidays sightseeing or lazing by a pool, Hidde Burgmans would rather seek out special trees.

He even managed to propose to his girlfriend, Nadia Roeleveld, under a particularly special cedar in Japan: “My fiancee always laughs, because she’s like, ‘OK, we have to make a detour again because Hidde found another big tree’.”
