Hi everyone! If you’re reading this you’re probably either a friend, related to me, or have been hyped up by my mom to follow me along on this journey and ensure that I make it back to Jersey in one piece. However you’ve ended up on here, I’m hoping to be as candid as possible as to what life is like while working for TRACC over the next eight weeks.
For those who don’t know, I will be spending the next two months working for TRACC on tiny Pom Pom Island in the Celebes Sea, north east of Sabah, Malaysia. TRACC is a marine conservation organization that is “dedicated to protecting sea turtles and restoring coral reefs destroyed by the local fish bombing practices of Malaysia”. In my time here, I’ll receive four SCUBA certifications while working with volunteers to help repair the reefs and learn about ways that each of us can make small changes that lead to a larger impact on our earth and its creatures.
I’ve always wanted to make it on Survivor, so living on this island will probably be as close of a test run as I’ll ever get. But I think right now I’m okay with trading the negative degree weather for 80s and sunshine on the beach 😎
