Learn MoreElise is a big animal lover, so the things she loves best about nature is exploring the homes of creatures. Whether it’s looking in the trees for birds nests, or looking down holes for snakes or crabs, she likes to see the places and habitats in nature where her favorite creatures call home.
Her favorite animal is a cheetah because “it’s fast”. It was her Halloween costume (and weekly casual attire) for multiple years. She also loves their patterns.
Her favorite outdoor activity is probably jumping in the waves and exploring the beach. She loves the water and running along the shore watching the birds and exploring . We visited Costa Rica a couple years ago and she spent almost an hour just watching an army of hermit crabs walking around.
