What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreInaaya loves the feeling of being in nature more than anything else. She’s especially drawn to water—whether it’s a calm lake, the big ocean, or even watching waves come and go. Mountains also excite her, probably because they feel like a big adventure waiting to happen. She enjoys exploring, noticing little things, and being active outdoors. Nature, for her, isn’t just something to look at-it’s something to experience, play in, and feel connected to.
Inaaya’s favourite animals are dolphins and birds. She loves dolphins for their playful nature and was lucky to have a whale-watching experience last year through a tour in Tofino. She also enjoys watching birds -it amazes her how their wings allow them to soar so effortlessly through the sky.
Her favourite outdoor activities include camping, swimming in lakes, and taking peaceful walks along small trails.
