I’ve been naturally curious my entire life. From as young as I could remember I would read countless books and imagine the unique cultures, animals, and experiences the world has to offer. I fell in love with traveling after volunteering in Costa Rica when I was 16 and have since jumped at any opportunity to explore the world.
There’s nothing quite like getting lost in a new country. Being able to immerse myself in new cultures and new climates has always provided such a special feeling. From my first sunset swim in Costa Rica to my most recent trip to Kenya and Uganda, the images of my travels float through my mind every day! I love adventurous travel like Paragliding in Peru and hiking Macha Picchu and Rainbow Mountain. But I also love getting lost in the stories of a place, like wandering through the streets of Jerusalem or walking through the hills of Wales that my dad grew up in.

Ngare Serian Ngare Serian felt like its own peaceful oasis in the Mara North Conservancy. I loved being able to relax near the riverbanks and listen to the nearby hippos in the mornings and had such a laugh crossing the suspension bridge when leaving camp -
