I am
- a wildlife photographer
- an animal lover (especially birds and cats)
- a thoughtful person
- always looking for a reason to take photos
- a music festival attender
- a fan of Muse and Phil Collins
- a nature-lover, who likes wearing rubber boots and khaki clothing
- dreaming about travelling around the whole world
- a simple person, just 1 out of many billion humans
- a girl, who fell in love with South Africa, and intends to go back someday
And so much more. I am not here on Deviantart to achieve fame or glory, just want to share some of my nice photos with you :-)

I bought my camera, the Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ100, because I wanted a nice, yet cheap, camera with nice zoom and which takes photos in good quality. I tested it's skills while volunteering in Karongwe Game Reserve (with GVI, read my blog entry about my trip here www.gvi.co.uk/blog/limpopo-pro…). Karongwe Game Reserve is a private reserve with 8,000 hectares of bush and wild animals. During my 2 months stay I had the most amazing time of my life, more details on the blog entry. It changed me as a person, and I recommend everyone to do this, especially if you are young (18+) and taking a break from studying, and if you enjoy nature, and working hard sometimes. All the blood, sweat and tears are worth it.
