So Far...
Well.. I have been on many adventures throughout my lifetime, for instance I have been on many family holidays over the world- Caribbean, Europe, USA, Australia and many more!
But I have recently had the chance to complete four weeks in two very different places with my university! I went to Peru and to South Africa in Botswana :D

But I have recently had the chance to complete four weeks in two very different places with my university! I went to Peru and to South Africa in Botswana :D
Both of these adventures were absolutely breath taking! These trips were for conservation purposes not for holidays (although it did feel like a holiday!) for my degree, to study about the different aspects of biodiversity and how the environment changes! These two experiences have been breathtaking and opened my eyes to the world of conservation.
South Africa working at a wildlife reserve in Botswana; learning tracking methods and research skills to establish population numbers, population areas and the variety of species. In Botswana, I have seen many spectacular species in the wild such as Elephants, Zebras, Lions, Wart Hogs and many species of birds.
Peru working at a tropical research centre in the Amazon rainforest; gathering information about population numbers, population areas and feeding habits of the primate species but also gathering information on what other species are habiting in the rainforest. In the Amazon, I have seen many species, for instance;Squirrel Monkeys, Titi Monkeys, Red Howler monkeys and many more, I have also seen many species of amphibians, birds and butterflies, not many species of reptiles though!
Seeing these animals in the wild in both Peru and South Africa, has just opened my eyes to the world of conservation, and why we actually try to conserve the biodiversity and ecosystems.
Throughout my life adventures, I have managed to go to a variety of Zoos, Aquariums and Animal Sanctuaries all over the world. I have had the chance to go to Australia Zoo in Brisbane, Port Macquarie Koala Hospital in Australia, Central Park Zoo in NYC, Lima Zoo in Peru, Cheetah and Bush Baby Sanctuary in South Africa and many UK zoos which include ZSL London Zoo, Chester zoo (which has been named #1 best zoo in the Country) and Colchester zoo.
My next adventures will be Australia again in October this year for a month and then the USA next year for two months!!
