I love this job because I get to take care of injured wildlife, so they can eventually go back into the wild! On weekends I usually like to travel to and camp in different places. If I am not traveling in my free time, I enjoy hiking, playing beach volleyball, cooking, and hanging with my 4 cats. On this blog I want to share tips on all the amazing places I travel as well as recipes and animal facts.
