Liz

Hi, I'm Liz, and I got my first taste for traveling when I was 16 years old. On my own, 10 years and 50 something countries later, my wanderlust has only grown and the list of countries I want to visit longer.

I was filming birds in another direction when I heard the telltale gunshot boom of a gigantic glacier calving at Neko Harbour. Playing around with some of the animal tracking, I wasn’t fast enough to change settings to capture the ice - still think it turned out pretty neat though 🐧

I’ve guided in South Georgia multiple times now, and it’s one of the most extraordinary places I know. Beaches packed with seals, penguins stretching as far as you can see, with albatross soaring overhead. But here’s something that surprised me, even after working here. We don’t actually have up-to-date population data for huge parts of the island. Which means we don’t always know what’s changing, or what might be at risk.

Launched by the @southgeorgiaheritagetrust, South Georgia WildCounts is working to fix that, bringing together scientists to monitor wildlife across the island for the first time in decades. It’s not the most visible part of conservation, but it’s one of the most important. This week, donations are being matched through Earth Raise, so anything you give goes twice as far.

If this place means something to you, too, it’s a good moment to support it. Link in my bio to donate!

Who is Young Adventuress?

Hi, I'm Liz, and I got my first taste for traveling when I was 16 years old. On my own, 12 years and 50 something countries later, my wanderlust has only grown and the list of countries I want to visit longer. After living in Spain for the past few years and returning home for a stint, I then quit my job and moved to New Zealand and I've been here ever since. Follow my misadventures as I wander, eat, and photograph my way around the world
