My Month in the Daintree Rainforest, Australia
Long overdue, this is a snippet of my time adventuring in the Daintree Rainforest. A place of natural beauty, simple living, and incredible people, a part of my heart with always stay in the Daintree. Check out some of my other written pieces to get a better feel of this amazing place I fell in […]
August 18, 2019: An Aussie Birthday, a Cougar, and a Bonfire
Background: At this point, I was working in the Daintree Rainforest at an ecolodge. Luke, the youngest of the group, was just turning 19. Sweet and shy, we had a goal of bringing him out on a big night. Well, big by rainforest standards anyway.
