| Lots of good action on the road |
This year has been totally crazy for me with travel. I remember when I first started my job and we had one site in Ruaha and it was a pain in the butt to travel three hours to our northernmost work area. Now I am juggling three different work sites as well as other conferences, meetings, and of course, personal travel. I felt a little burnt out at the end of this year and I couldn't help but laugh at the fact that 20 year old me would be scoffing at my exhaustion. It's kind of like a monkey paw curling after I wished that I could travel a lot for work.
This is a snapshot of my year. Unfortunately we do not have a private plane so much of this travel is on rough roads, not very efficient, and all together a bit of a drain. On the flip side it's amazing to get exposure and involved in different areas. There were a couple of weird scheduling things in 2024 that required way more back and forth than usual and I will make a concentrated effort to do less travel in 2025. Let's see how it goes...
