My oldest daughter is a true animal lover—with a heart as big as the wild! From rescuing bugs to caring for her pet tarantula, she’s fearles

She loves nature in its entirety—the whisper of the wind, the dance of leaves, the scent of rain on soil. But what truly steals her heart is the wild—the untamed rhythm of animals in their element and the quiet resilience of plants pushing through earth and stone. She's not just in awe of nature—she’s fluent in its language.
She loves capybaras because they’re the chillest little potatoes on four legs—always calm, always cozy, and somehow best friends with every animal they meet. If animals had a group hug leader, it’d be the capybara—and she’d be right there hugging them too.
She’s an outdoors girl through and through—whether it’s soaking up sunshine, chasing sunsets, or skipping rocks just because. But give her a hiking trail or a fishing pole, and she’s in her happy place. There’s just something about fresh air, muddy boots, and the quiet thrill of a tug on the line that lights her up.
