Expedition Amazon

I will be traveling with an expedition team to the Peruvian Amazon to study thermal river systems, biodiversity, and illegal logging activity.

Along the way, I will trek around Cusco hitting locations such as Machu Picchu, Puno, Lake Titicaca and more! I am excited to immerse myself in the culture of Peru, using all that I experience and learn along the way to create classroom materials for teachers!

Part of my mission is to aid The Boiling River Project in learning more about thermal river systems of the Amazon and to promote the protection of this important and sacred space.  All of the educational materials I create will be housed on this non-profit's website.
