Receive Text UpdatesHe loves that nature is full of surprises and animals. Growing up in San Diego and Guam, he explores beaches, jungles, and ocean reefs where he looks for fish, crabs, birds, and cool bugs. He loves learning about wildlife and believes we should protect nature because it is the animals’ home and we share the planet with them.
His favorite animal is the fanihi, Guam’s fruit bat, because he learned that bats help spread seeds and grow new trees, which helps the jungle and other animals. He thinks it’s cool that even though some people think bats are scary, they are actually very important helpers to the planet.
His favorite outdoor activity is swimming and exploring the beach near his home on Guam. He walks the trail down to the beach, looks for fish, crabs, and other local wildlife, and loves paddle boarding on the bay. He says being outside is always an adventure and he wants to help keep our planet clean.
