Up! Up! (Part 1)
I survived my first trip into the rainforest and can’t wait to do it all over again, but then agin I’m getting a little ahead of myself. From December 10 – 15, I visited our two communities, San Antonio and Calabaza which make up our Colibri Project. This project is HIGH in the cloudforest, and just […]
And Today We March
One of the best aspects of attending COP has been the opportunity to hear ALL the various ideas and/or theories about what Climate Change really means and how we will put a stop to this crisis. But the idea the resonates with me the most is that change must start with the people. Today was Human […]
Adventure Awaits
“The silence was enchanting. Infinite space seemed to enter it, and my spirit, alone with the stars, seemed capable of any adventure.” -excerpt from The Summing Up by W. Somerset Maugham Tomorrow my adventure will shift to what some may believe is a more ‘proper’ adventure, and I say good bye to my days at […]
Some Call It “Getting Schooled”
These past few days have been humbling in many ways from the inability to communicate, to the intimidating participants with years of experience, education and just plain intelligence. If I take away anything from this experience it is that I have so much to learn! The people I have connected with are more worldly than I […]
Lost in Translation
Please forgive grammatical errors, typos and general streams of conscience thought…. wifi, time, and sleep are all sparse. The language, the culture, the food, the activities…. I stepped off the plane (at 1AM) into what can only be described as controlled chaos. The people, the smells, and the languages assuage your senses as soon as you […]
Home Sweet Home
I have arrived, and it’s been non-stop from the moment the plane touched down. Adventure awaits and I’m so thankful for a place to call home for my 23 Days in Lima. I’m staying with one of our newest advisors to Rainforest Partnership and he has been the most gracious host. I find Peruvians a […]
If the Shoe Fits!
Packing for this trip has been a constant challenge from me. Just packing for twenty-three days alone is challenging but the real challenge is the preparation for two very different kinds of adventures. That being said, I’m the worst packer, if it was up to me I would bring everything ‘just in case’, or if budget ever […]
Inspire!
As I mentioned I hope to inspire you throughout my journey but none of this would be possible without those that inspire me. My Boss. At her core, she embodies the generosity, compassion, and integrity that all great leaders possess. She is someone I’m learning so much from and I know she will be a […]
Why Blog?
A simple question for such a complicated answer. In my mind your typical bloggers are usually stylish, funny, writers, well educated or lead beautifully extravagant lives- so I don’t exactly fit in with your ‘typical’ blogger. But I may have a story to share and I encourage you to laugh along with me on this adventure or mis-adventure as it […]
