What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreI love the smell of nature and the way it feels on my bare feet. With my Autism my sense of smell, touch and hearing are brighter, so I feel immersed and connected to nature. I love the flowers & trees, textures, sounds & hues & the way it surprises me with landmarks, formations, geography, river systems, ecosystems & the animals that make it their home.
My Norwegian Forrest Cat because she has a lovely nature and enjoys bird watching. She is always by my side and she is cute and furry and we love spending time together. I have had her from a kitten and she has a soothing purr and I love taking care of her. Cats are also resourceful and clever like me.
I am half New Zealander and I developed my taste for the outdoors in New Zealand’s parks and playgrounds including Queenstown. Flying Fox or Zip lines are my favorite as I love whizzing through forests and the thrill and adrenaline rush of the speed. I am not afraid of climbing or heights and it’s great for my vestibular system.
