When I first saw the movie RIO I remember thinking that Brazil seemed so cool and I always wanted to visit it when I got older. I also learned about the Amazon and how important it was to the ecosystem of the world and how many lifeforms it supported. When I was given the chance to go on this trip I was so excited to go albeit a bit nervous since I really had no idea what I was really getting myself into.
This trip helped me to get out of my comfort zone and I got to experience so many new things. I some points I couldn’t believe I was actually there! It was my first time traveling out of the country without my family, so I was a bit anxious, but this trip exceeded my expectations. I had so much fun that I hardly missed home at all.
What I loved most about this trip was getting to interact with all the animals we encountered. There were so many animals that I’ve never seen before and ones that I’ve only seen on the television. Getting to interact with them and hold them was a life changing experience. For this project I have divided my story into different parts based on where I saw the animals in Brazil.
