Save our wildlife! Of all the things I've lost, it's my mind I miss the most! :)

visiting Hokitika on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island

New Zealand | Thursday, January 10, 2013 | 5 photos

Originally born in Zimbabwe I have spent most of my life growing up in South Africa until I moved with my family to New Zealand in 2004. I have a gorgeous budgie called Bella and she rules! I have the world’s patience and she roams free and gets away with everything! I have been in office jobs all my life but have come to a point where my need for a career change away from the rat race has become essential. Life is too short to sit in an office! I am currently studying for my Dipl. in Professional Photography online through NZPI. Anyone who knows me are well aware of my desire to become a wildlife photographer for National Geographic or Discovery channel and to work with animals especially. I would also love to open up my own rescue center. I have a constant need for a challenge in areas that interest me, something that makes me feel like I’ve spent my life doing something worthwhile. I want to be out there, experience the world, travel and see how people and animals less fortunate live side by side. I want to portray the moment as I saw it as much as possible as I am the only one who experiences that exact moment at that exact point in time, but need some guidance.
