Habari! Nimefurahi kukutana na wewe! Hello! It’s great to meet you!
My name is Esha! I am 21 years old, and I am from San Diego, California. It is sunny almost every day where I live, and I love going to the beach to surf or watch the sunset. I also love playing a lot of soccer, trying new foods, and making music on my guitar.
I went to college in Northern California, where I also got to travel the United States playing soccer and rugby. I studied symbolic systems, which means I learned about the mind and how people think!
I love learning about different languages, cultures, and nature. One summer, I lived in Peru and worked on projects using energy from the sun. I also spent two months living in the Amazon Rainforest! I took pictures of cool animals like toucans and snakes while helping scientists learn how to protect them.
My mom was born in Brazil, and my dad was born in Nairobi, Kenya. Kenya is a special place to me because I could have grown up there. I am excited to learn Swahili, teach English to students, and explore Kenya's beautiful wildlife and traditions.
I want to become an environmental diplomat, which means someone who works to take care of the Earth, animals, and plants. I visit different places around the world, help with conservation projects, and share these amazing stories through photography!
