Sabbatical in the nature time lines

This website is to allow you to see what and where I am during my 4 and half month sabbatical. I have decided to do some voluntary projects in the outdoors. I have choose a variaty of projects and countries.

My time off starts with something completely different and that is taking part in the World Masters Squash tournament in Newlands, Cape Town. The tournament starts on the 16 October and lucky me I only need to play my first game on the Tuesday. You can see all the results on www.wmsqc.com.

My real adventure starts on the 5 November when I fly out to Walvis Baai in Namibia to work on a project working with Desert Elephants.

Crikey Dominique, I don't hear from you in ages and out of the blue (for me) you are about to go on a big adventure. Sounds fabulous, I hope you have the time of your life.

Hai Dominique,

Dacht ik mooi voor het eerst van mijn leven geblogd te hebben, is ie niet aangekomen, terwijl ie wel in het lijstje van alle berichten stond. Maar hoe is het met je en hoe liep de squash af? Alle goeds, ook voor Ella en Segrun,
Carolien.
