Receive Text UpdatesI love wildlife and discovering something new about nature every time I’m outside. I love how it looks, sounds, and feels to be right in the middle of it. It makes me curious and excited to explore more.
My favourite animal is the white-tailed deer. I like how they are big but so quiet, and seeing one always feels like a surprise. I also love birds! Especially the Scarlet Tanager. They are bright red but hard to spot, which makes them extra special, and I love their song.
My favourite activity is camping because it combines so many things I love like hiking, biking, birding, and swimming. I like that when we’re camping, we’re never in a rush. There’s nowhere else to be except enjoying nature.
