Throw back to the time I went to the Galapagos Islands…that was kind of a game changer for me. I came back with an incredible appreciation for wildlife.

I didn’t have kids yet, but felt like I had tapped into my inner child – because all kids love animals, right? I also made a mental note to go back to these places with my future children.
I recently wrote a piece for GreenSpot about the very important reasons to expose children to wildlife. I hope you might hop over and give it a read…
