Can't believe in less than 24 hours I have to say goodbye to the most amazing people I have ever met in the most beautiful place on earth. This last month in Mossel Bay has flown by and I can't believe I fly back home tomorrow and leave these amazing people. I have been blessed to spend the last month with them in our beautiful "Castle on the Hill" Thank you Mossel Bay and Oceans Research for a life changing time and an amazing 21st birthday, I'll definitely be back soon! 🇿🇦💜🦈

Can't imagine a better way to spend my 21st birthday, other than being on the water on this beautiful day in Mossel Bay. Sorry mom, I was on the side of a boat handling the bait rope with great white sharks swimming around underneath me, and yes I'm wearing an invisible life jacket😉 this was the most amazing experience of my life!! Although I miss everyone back home, I am loving it here and don't want to leave, thank you for all the birthday wishes!!!

I am officially never coming home. Today was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I was within reaching distance from the most beautiful animal I've ever seen. To say the least, I'm in shock! Today was amazing and I hope everyone enjoys these videos as much as I enjoyed today!!!

I know it's been a few days since I have posted, it it has been a busy few days! On Thursday morning I went sea fishing at 5am and here are some lic uses of the trip! Unfortunately I didn't catch anything but a few species that were caught were smooth hound sharks, a leopard cat shark, a ray, a red roman, a bronze whaler shark, and a cute octopus! And today we are heading to swim with the seals, don't worry mom there are no sharks where we are going (I hope!) Hopefully I will come back with some cool videos of at for you guys later! Enjoy the snow, I won't try to brag too much about being on the beach yesterday!

First day of work✔️ and loving it! Today we went to The Point which is a beautiful rocky shore beach. We did a tidal study where we identified as many intertidal invertebrates as possible. I know this sounds nerdy but the animals here are beautiful! Tomorrow starts the real fun stuff you follow this page for, SHARKS. Waking up at 5am to go out sea fishing! Don't worry Mom, there are life jackets on the boat!

Even though I am 7 hours ahead, for everyone just waking up back at home here is my morning view for the next four weeks! Today, myself and the other interns completed a beach cleanup at Diaz Beach which is only a mile away from the house. Enjoying every minute of the dream-like adventure! .... Oh, and don't tell my mom that Diaz Beach is home to "Seal Island" of South Africa!
