Nice meeting you on Steemit Kate! I'm sharing a lot of your interests and really love to read more about all your personal and job experiences! To be able to fulfill my dream in working with nature, I became an ecologist in The Netherlands. At the time I think nature is not really present anymore in this country. But people start to get more aware nowadays, so that gives me a little hope. Looking forward to read more about the researches you conduct in Brazil and also your spiritual experiences :)
