Start Their AdventureMy 10-year-old girl loves nature for the sense of wonder and adventure it brings. She is especially drawn to animals- watching birds, spotting deer, or following butterflies- as well as collecting natural treasures like colorful leaves, smooth stones, or seashells. The beauty of flowers, sunsets, and starry skies can captivate her imagination, inspiring creativity or simply a sense of peace. Nature also offers her a place to explore freely, use her senses, and take a break.
Her favorite animal is the axolotl because of its unique and adorable appearance, with frilly gills, a constant smile, and a quirky charm that sets it apart from other creatures. Beyond looks, she finds them fascinating due to their incredible ability to regenerate limbs and even parts of their brain-something few animals can do. Their rarity and connection to the ancient lakes of Mexico make them feel mysterious and special, and she appreciates that they’re not commonly known or loved.
Her favorite outdoor activity is hiking, especially on rugged trails that lead to hidden waterfalls or breathtaking mountain views. She loves the challenge, the sense of discovery, and the feeling of being completely immersed in nature. Every hike feels like a mini adventure, where she can test her limits, breathe in the fresh air, and find moments of peace away from the everyday noise.
