Peru: Powerpoint

If you're interested in what I did in Peru, and I haven't told you or you haven't read my old blog posts, you can check out this short Powerpoint I gave to one of my classes about it. Sorry for the poor audio editing, just threw the song on top of it so you don't get bored.

Explorer's Inn is always looking for new RN's. You need (or are working towards) a degree in biology or a related field (like Environmental Science) and a 3-month commitment. Send me an email if you are interested! I will give you all the contact info. you need. Or if you just want to go on a vacation there...

Peru: FAUNA

Here are some of the best photos I got of all the amazing, beautiful, and crazy things that surrounded me in the jungles of Peru. This is why I carried my camera with me every single moment throughout the wet, sticky, and hot rainforest. Some of my proudest photos (and some of my least favorite, but that's okay). Please enjoy.
