I can’t believe it’s already April, wow! As they say, time flies when you’re having fun haha. Since returning […]

Do more of what makes you happy! :)

First off – what is holding you back from happiness? Fear? The unknown? Feeling stuck? Anxiety? Taking a risk? Leaving your comfort zone? Societal pressures? I want you to think on this before moving on. Ok now that we’ve gotten past that… HI friends, family, and anyone curious to check out my blog!! It’s been […]

Jumping right in

Hey everyone!! So the month of May has flown by with everything needed to be done before the first group of RA’s (research assistants) came a little over a week ago. We needed to clean the lab, organize, set up traps, start baiting, and so much more. I also was helping out processing with the […]

Heading back to Peru

HEY GUYS!!! So I have some cool amazing news… I will be returning with FPI (Field Projects International) to be a head team leader over the primate section of the program! Starting May 4th I will be back in the Amazon Rainforest of Peru at the small field station called “Los Amigos Biological Station”. I […]

Summer… is loading

HI everyone! I promise I haven’t forgotten about my blog friends/family. I just have been so happy recently I kind of forgot to write an update since I have been home from Peru. This year has been an awesome one so far! I have stuck by so much I wanted to do earlier this year. […]

A New Year

Happy New Year and Merry (late) Christmas!!! Wow – I can’t believe it’s already 2023. Time has been FLYING but also being SO slow since 2020 and COVID lol.

It’s starting to become hotter during the day here and there is WAY more rain. Welcome to the rainy season!!! *nervous laugh* The […]

Sunny days filled with many animals (and surprises!!)

Hello friends and family! It’s been a little bit since I wrote last, but I’m trying to get better at it haha. I enjoy it – it’s just life has been crazy (in a good way)!! I am currently writing this in a super cute café/beach store/skatepark in Pensacola, FL. I just moved here at […]

The Amazon Rainforest

Hello friends from all over! It’s been a while, but I hope the ending of the summer and changing into fall has been beautiful and relaxing. This is my favorite season with all the wonderful colors and crisp air surrounding you. I haven’t been very creative lately, which is why I haven’t posted anything regarding […]

Experiencing something new

Hey guys! Sorry for the slight delay – the wifi here is terrible. I mean I am in the middle of the amazon rainforest, so having any at all is a blessing in itself haha. It’s officially been 2 weeks at the station and I’m absolutely loving it! Mentally and physically I’m exhausted already with […]
