    Awesome! Thanks for the effort!

    We dont mind that it eats the spiders here, they are huge and scary :p

    We ended up at Madagascar because it was my long live dream. I studied biology and arranged a place for my thesis. However for my bachelor I heard I wasnt allowed to travel outside of Europe. And for my masters there wasn’t anyone educated highly enough to supervise me.

    So when we were brainstorming for our honeymoon, my now wife came with this idea. It has been an amazing trip so far, but also quite intense. A lot of travelling in a 4x4, long days and early rises. The people here are quite poor, and that makes the travel a bit conflicted. But my biologist heart is really happy. We have seen amazing animals and visited wonderful places.

      I was guessing it had to be something career related, as it seems a place so far from everywhere. I couldn’t think of a better place to go to study animals though. It is great your wife is also up for the adventure.

      Are you able to finish your school down there or do you plan on returning to Europe, or will you just stay and explore on your own?

      I like the lemur picture. It makes me think of Socrates giving a lecture! 😁

        Sadly it no longer is my field of work. Switched to IT when I couldnt find a job or phd in behavioural biology. Turned out I like IT quite a lot.

        We have 1 more week of travel, visiting a rain forest at the east coast. Then back to Europe and to work.

          Well it still seems to have worked out well for you. I am happy for you that you got to go and explore. There are always more opportunities and places to see in the future also!
