I really love searching for animals and finding climbing trees the most about nature. If there's a tree, I'm probably in it. We live in a very animal diverse area with lots of parks and reserves where we can walk miles of trails. When we are outside I use the merlin app to discover what birds we are hearing around us but can't see. There is always something to learn when you are outdoors.
My favorite animal is a bearded dragon! We own a bearded dragon, named Ziggy, who is 6 years old. Ziggy was my inspiration for my choosing personal project at school where I researched and presented facts about their diet and habitat, as well as some fun facts like how they are the animal called "yellow spotted lizard in the movie Holes.
I always finds a tree to climb because just sitting in a tree helps me relax. When I'm not climbing trees, I am playing soccer. I play competitive soccer and we travel for games and tournaments frequently which gives us opportunities to explore different trails and areas in Florida.
