2 Days Pre-Trip Anxiety

So theoretically I will be updating this with photos and voice memos during my trip to Namibia. Who knows how frequently I'll be able to post or if I'll even have good enough wifi to do so. Realistically I have a very vague idea of how I will be spending the next 2 months which seems very out of character for me since I usually have my life planned about 3 years in advance at any given time. I am in fact fluctuating from a state of total inner peace to nauseating anxiety and sometimes the fear climbs up my throat the way it always does before big trips. But, time moves independent of my anxiety and somehow I take comfort in that. This trip will come and pass and I'm excited to share the adventures that happen along the way.

My goal is to use this site for reflection. Maybe it'll be a photo and a story here, a monologue rant there or a deep reflection on the complexities of human society and its interwoven nature with animals. Either way, I am quite literally about to be living out a childhood dream so as I look squarely ahead at adulthood, I think it would be nice to reflect on why I started down this path to begin with.

Life was simple at 5 years old. I wanted to go to Africa and save the animals. So, let's go try.

Wish me luck!
