If you know me then you would know my love for animals. As a kid I grew up watching Animal Planet, idolizing Steve Irwin and making my own homemade nature videos. This trip to South Africa will be a breath of adventure for me, I will get to spend time helping Marine biologists and the Great White conservation effort! I would spend 3 weeks aboard a research and cage diving vessel, working with the boat crew to educate and analyze data. Not only would this be an awesome educational benefit but also a wholesome learning experience where I get to experience a different culture and become more eco-aware! The funds that I raise will help with flights to South Africa, as well as accomodation and food during the trip! This is a trip of a lifetime and I would love to take you along for the journey!
