Sinopsis

Wandering Nature is devoted to discovering natures wonderful, strange, and fascinating organisms and ecosystems. Because these ecosystems are in exotic and wild locations, its also about the adventures, joys, and challenges of travel abroad. The project is made possible by a Thomas J. Watson Fellowship, which provides funding to recent college graduates to pursue a year of independent, non-academic study abroad.
