Hello, my name is Ana and I'm from Senegal. I grew up in a small village surrounded by lush green forests where I used to play with the chimpanzees. My parents were traditional healers and they taught me all about herbs and their medicinal properties.
I came to this rainforest setting because I wanted to explore and learn more about the plants and animals that live here. It's been an amazing experience so far, but I must admit, it can get quite muddy at times! Despite the challenges, I feel truly blessed to be in such a beautiful place.
As for my backstory, I left Senegal when I was 16 to study abroad in France. It was an incredible opportunity and I learned so much about myself and the world during that time. But eventually, I realized that my heart was always going to be in Africa, and so I came back here to continue my studies and work towards preserving this wonderful rainforest.
