Hello everyone!

International travel is calling me once again and this time I'm joining a team to embark on an epic challenge in Costa Rica.

The purpose of the challenge is to raise vital funds to support animals in need through the charity International Aid for the Protection and Welfare of Animals (IAPWA). Donations to this challenge will help to support the thousands of animals who rely on the lifeline provided through IAPWA's projects and support programmes globally.

The challenge involves jungle trekking through remote areas and supporting local communities in one of the most biodiverse areas in the world. The conditions may be challenging but hopefully we will be rewarded with some interesting flora and fauna along the way!

My place on this trip is self funded so any donations sent will be going directly towards IAPWA projects to make a significant difference to animals worldwide.

To find out more about the charity this trip is supporting please visit www.iapwa.org and www.facebook.com/iapwa.
