I place my masked face in the water, continue breathing through my snorkel in for 4 countsout for 6. My arms and legs dangle loosely at my sides, gently swaying with the swells. I feel my heart rate slow, watch the light paint the sandy bottom of the clear sea, then close my eyes. When the time’s right, I take one long, deep breath, filling diaphragm, lungs and throat.

Madagascar? Why Madagascar? - Greenhorn Goes to…

http://www.greenhorngoesto.com/madagascar-why-madagascar

Sign Up for Updates. Our Lady of the Goats. April 24 2016 in. It’s a reasonable question. One I received a lot before leaving on my trip. Most people come to Madagascar to see its strange and wondrous creatures. Perversely, what brought me to Madagascar is the environmental degradation. Most of the country’s mammals, insects, and plants have been driven into, or are under threat of, extinction. The main reason? It’s a theme that keeps coming up on my adventures. Slowly I have started to understand that f...

Sign Up for Updates. I’ve been doing a surprising amount of thinking about the Artic as I sit here sweating in Costa Rica. There are many ways that the two environments, which on the surface seem so different – the cold, dry, sparse Arctic and the hot, humid, abundant rainforest – encompass startling similarities. Some of the similarities are simple like mildewed […]. The Music of the Jungle. Greenhorn goes to Costa Rica! I just got back from a week at the cabin that I have gone to for the past darn near...

Escape from Panama - Greenhorn Goes to…

http://www.greenhorngoesto.com/escape-from-panama

Sign Up for Updates. The Next Stone in the Stream. March 12 2015 in. It is hard to believe I’ve been in Costa Rica for three months already! The days just melt away. I start each day with a swim in the cove, followed by a shower to rinse off the salt and a breakfast of fruit and coffee, then I sit down to write before it simply gets too hot for me to think. We are deep into the dry season, and even the locals are dripping sweat from the points of their chins by mid-afternoon. Over the next hour, he calle...

Sign Up for Updates. Life and Death in the Water. February 11 2015 in. Just as in our own lives, a healthy birth and the death of a child are the most joyous and tragic events possible, so it seems, they are for dolphins. On our voyages collecting data, we have been privileged to witness incredible, intimate moments in the dolphin lifecycle. A joyous celebration of birth. As we approached, a tragic site met our eyes. At first it was hard to comprehend what we were seeing, but as we drew nearer, it be...
