My Travel Story

Hi, I'm Valerie. I'm just a small town girl from Texas trying to expand my knowledge and do my part in this hectic, crazy world. I spend most of my free time with my 6 animals. I have previously worked 3 years with develop mentally challenged teens/adult but my one true passion is animals and conservation.

I'm extremely passionate about animals and conservation, and have already worked closely with local animal rescues. It has always been a dream of mine to go to Africa to aid in conservation efforts of all species and now that I have the opportunity, I need all the help I can get to make it there. Any help is appreciated beyond belorg

Africa is home to certain species that are facing extinction, including mountain gorillas and Grevys zebras. By putting safeguards in place like training rangers, using sniffer dogs, and empowering communities, we are helping to ensure all of Africas wildlife survives.
