What does Vera love most about nature?

My daughter loves nature because it’s where she feels most free and full of wonder. She enjoys going on long walks, noticing the tiny bugs along the path and chasing after birds with laughter and excitement. The beach is one of her favorite places—she loves feeling the sand and splashing in the waves. As she watches the birds soar above the water, she dreams of flying too, imagining what it would be like to have wings of her own. For her, nature is a playground.


What is Vera's favorite animal—and why?

One of her favorite animals are bugs. She’s endlessly fascinated by the way they crawl, fly, and scurry about, each one like a tiny mystery waiting to be explored. On walks, she’s always on the lookout for beetles, ants, or butterflies, and she could spend hours watching them go about their little lives.


What is Vera's favorite outdoor activity?

My daughter’s favorite activity is spending time outside, where she feels happiest and most free. She loves the feel of the sun, the sound of the wind, and the excitement of discovering something new.
