well i did it.

i bought a ticket to panama.



to volunteer on a turtle conservation project on playa soropta for 5 weeks. ( :

soropta is on panama's carribean coast mid way down the horn. very close to an area called San San Pond Sak which is recognized by the UN as a globally important wetland based on it's uniquness and bio-diversity. i'm terribly excited although i have no idea what lies before me. haven't done my research yet but are you surprised? and who is you? i'm looking forward to being somewhere else. change of scenery. for scenery's sake. its temporary. i hope to come back with a renewed perspective on the great life cycle inquiry. i've proposed to my teachers that this trip is about biomimicry, immersion, invention, curiousity, transferable skills, biodiversity, community development. my passion lies in mobile-ness, culture and the environment. how to travel and be a researcher / designer / journalist concerned with the fate of our generations.. . pretty broad.. i know.



matt and jen, who i will be working with down there, have also been blogging about the soropta project. they are already down there walking the beaches at night and taking care of things. i met them at julian's birthday. enough said!

stay tuned internet. ( :

and, happy birthday mama!
