After the shoe drop yesterday in Durban, we drove 4 hours through the beautiful South African countryside to a safari on the Ubizane Wildlife Reserve where we are staying in beautiful treehouse lodges. This morning we have already seen huge white rhinos and had a group of about 40 elephants come right up the jeep. We saw giraffes, wildebeest and zebras, which are just amazing! Zebras are one of the most beautiful creatures I have ever seen. The backdrop where we are is breath taking! It is so green here, very wet and tropical!

This trip has really helped me focus on what it is I want out of life and where I want to go next with my life. Life is so beautiful, so amazing! I’m inspired to continue to make a difference in any way I can. Adaptive Action Sports and public speaking is where my heart is, as well as helping out other organizations and causes that are close to my heart.
