The most rewarding decision of my life was to become certified as a field. It was 6 months of hard work, constant studying, and dedication but it was worth every second. The knowledge I gained and the life lessons I learned were priceless. Soon I’ll be releasing a blog on how I became a field guide and how YOU can do the same if that is what your passion is calling you to be. I’ll list steps, qualifications needed, and what you can expect from your course. Keep an eye out so you can be the first to see it! Thank you to Emily Lewer for this photo of me looking through my binos at some animals in the distance ❤❤⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #fieldguide #southafricaza #wildlifeconservation ⁣ #loves_africa #africanamazing #wildlifeonearth #wildlifeaddicts #dream_spots #global4nature #wildlifephoto #gamereserve #southafricathroughmyeyes #blogging #wildlife_seekers #thisissouthafrica #instagram_sa #animalsaddict #travelbloggers #travelmoreoften #travel_captures #meetsouthafrica #ig_discover_wildlife #wildlifeplanet #majestic_earth #capturethewild #wildlife_perfection #igs_africa #destination_wild #igerssouthafrica #travelafrica

VISIT THE LINK IN MY BIO TO LEARN MORE! South Africa is home to many beautiful destinations and tourism opportunities. However, it's also home to the canned hunting industry. It's time to get real about this absolutely horrific practice. In South Africa, "volunteer" tourist traps convince thousands of good hearted people to come and fuel the industry unknowingly. Everyone should be aware of this practice and how to avoid it when visiting S.A.⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #southafricaza #visitsouthafrica #thisisafrica #loves_africa #africanamazing #lions #cannedhunting #bloodlions #travel #tourism #volunteering #volunteer #volunteers #conservation #ig_africa #environment #change #bigcats #sanctuary #causes #activism #protect #tourist #africanature #animalrights #weheartsa #savetheplanet #sustainability #ecofriendly
