I love taking walks on the beach. In my free time, I go on mountain hikes. I can speak english and spanish fluently. I'm currently in high school. I am moving to a new house next week.
Speaker 2
I am a very easy going person who loves to partake in leisure activity. I am a dog owner who loves spending time with all animals. Furthermore, I consider my self a coffee connoisseur and love trying new ways to brew. I also enjoy going outside to run, hike, and camp.

I am going on vacation to the coast. I like walking along the beach. I like to hike in the mountains. I haven't been to the Amazon Rain Forest. I would like to visit the Amazon Rain Forest. I speak fluent Spanish.
Speaker 2
I love the coast. I love the outdoors. My dog is a pitbull. My pitbull goes with me outdoors. I like spending time in the woods, forests, and mountains. My favorite place to visit is the Amazon Rain Forest.
Speaker 1
Hey how are you doing today?
Speaker 2
I'm doing well, just playing with my dog. How are you?
Speaker 1
Fine, getting ready for the weekend on the coast.
Speaker 2
I love the coast. Just pretty much the outdoors in general.
Speaker 1
Yeah I like walking along the beach, what type of dog do you have?
Speaker 2
It's a pitbull. I know a lot of people have concerns, but I'm pretty go-with-the-flow.
Speaker 1
As long as animals are trained correctly that would be oka.
Speaker 2
Yeah, and we spend most of our time outdoors anyway.
Speaker 1
Same as me, I like to hike in the mountains, where do you go?
Speaker 2
To the woods, forests, or mountains.
Speaker 1
Back to nature is always good, anywhere I particular?
Speaker 2
My favorite has been the amazon rain forest.
Speaker 1
Neat. I would like to visit there too since I speak spanish fluently.
Speaker 2
That would be really cool. What's stopping you?

Speaker 1
When you visit the Amazon Rain Forest, what do you do with your pitbull?
Speaker 2
I have an amazing pet sitter who I trust.  She actually is an owner of another pitbull.  The two dogs really enjoy playing together.
Speaker 1
Thats good to hear. I know traveling with animals can be tough. Do other people visiting the rainforest take their animals?
Speaker 2
To be honest I haven't seen any.  I don't thing you take your pet on a adventure like that.  I like taking my dog when I go hiking or going to the beach.
Speaker 1
Those are great places for dogs. Do you train them any?
Speaker 2
No. My dog sitter stepped up again and trained my dog. She is a certified dog trainer. I was there to watch. It is pretty cool how with the right approach one can teach animals so many things.
Speaker 1
I think its also cool that the animals become so healthy and happy after. Some breeds need direction and order to feel like they are doing a good job and being a good dog. Its nice that you give that attention to yours.
Speaker 2
Thanks! Have you traveled anywhere recently?
Speaker 1
I was in barcelona for a few weeks a couple months ago.
Speaker 2
That's so cool. How long did you stay? Was it for work or leisure? I haven't been to Spain yet but it is on my list.
Speaker 1
I went for leisure. I love the tappas and all the food you can find. 
Speaker 2
I always like to try local foods when I travel. I think little street shops and restaurants are adorable. They usually serve the most authentic food.

I have traveled with an animal before. I am knowledgeable about dogs. I speak fluent Spanish. I recently traveled to Barcelona. I was in Spain for leisure. I love tappas. I like to eat food from Spain.
Speaker 2
I love the coast. I love the outdoors. My dog is a pitbull. My pitbull goes with me outdoors. I have an amazing and trustworthy pet sitter that owns a pitbull also.  I like to hike or go to the beach with my pitbull. I like spending time in the woods, forests, and mountains. My favorite place to visit is the Amazon Rain Forest and I have been there. I would not take my dog with me to the Amazon Rain Forest. I have not been to Spain but I want to go. I like to eat local cuisine when I travel. I go to little street shops and restaurants.
Speaker 1
I have been researching the Amazon Rain Forest a lot the last few days and I think I am ready to book a trip there.  Do you want to come with me?
Speaker 2
I would love to. How long will we stay?
Speaker 1
That depends. How long would your pet sitter be available to watch your pitbull? I was thinking a couple of weeks!
Speaker 2
She walks him everyday so, a couple of weeks would not be a problem. Would we stay in a hotel or a BNB in the forest?
Speaker 1
That is up to you! I have yet to book the location since I wanted to work out some of the details with you first. Do you have a preference? 
Speaker 2
A BNB near the forest would provide hiking activities. We could see much more of the area with a travel guide.
Speaker 1
That sounds good. I'll get on that! I'm in the process of booking a BNB online as we speak! As close to the forest as possible! How do I go about finding a travel guide?
Speaker 2
We could speak with the BNB owner and share our activities list. They would know how to plan a fun filled trip in the area.
Speaker 1
Wonderful! I'd love to take in the suggestions of the BNB owner, and of course, visit any of your favorite areas from your previous trip. How long has it been since the last time you visited the Amazon rain forest?
Speaker 2
It has been over 3 years now. I enjoyed volunteering with local clean up activities for the sake of the environment. We could commit a day for that as well. If you are bring a pet, we should check out local pet sitters as well. I wont be bringing my pet.
Speaker 1
Normally I would bring my dog, but they are getting older and I would worry about taking them for long hikes, and wouldn't want to leave them on their own either. I'm not sure your pet sitter would be a great match since she has a pitbull and also would be watching yours, but I'll definitely look into other pet sitters in the meanwhile. Good thinking!
Speaker 2
No problem. Let me know what you find and the cost.

Speaker 1
I'm looking forward to some great hiking when we go to the Amazon.
Speaker 2
I am also looking forward to it! It will be amazing to return and see all of the trees and animals again. I am looking forward to the possibilty of seeing some new wildlife, maybe meet some aboriginie tribesmen. What are you looking forward to the most?
Speaker 1
I'm looking forward to feeding chicken carcasses to the piranhas in the river! It's fun to watch those fish go crazy for meat. 
Speaker 2
Have you done that before? 
Speaker 1
I have, but not in the Amazon River. I imagine the piranhas are even feistier there.
Speaker 2
I haven't done that before, but it could be an experience I'd enjoy, I guess we shall see lol. I know the hippos in the river are very territorial and we have to pay close attention to them. Have you gotten your vaccinations yet? Ive just scheduled mine for the week before we leave
Speaker 1
Oh, I totally forgot about those! I'll need to schedule those right away. I wonder if I need to vaccinate my dog as well.
Speaker 2
I would check with the vet, and the airline. There may be different requirements for him to be able to fly as well as travel through customs. I hope its a simple process for you
Speaker 1
Makes sense. I hope it's painless for us as well. What else should I bring? I'm blanking out at the moment.
Speaker 2
Hiking boots lol. Mosquito netting, non-fragrenced hygeine products, lightweight clothes. I'm packing my journal and a sketchbook, but cannot decide on splurging on a digital camera.
Speaker 1
Those are all necessary items. I think you should go for the digital camera. It's an experience worth documenting in high-res.
Speaker 2
Thanks, that was my thought line too. Do you have one for your travels? Any recommendations?

Speaker 1
I do actually have one, I bought it last year for my trip. Its the EOS Rebel T7 Camera Bundle for Beginners. It's great for beginners! 
Speaker 2
Neat! When can I see photos?
Speaker 1
I will send a few to you so you can see how they might turn out for you. Have you researched any other digital cameras?
Speaker 2
A few. And it would be smart for me to at least learn a modest amount, but I just love the written word so much when it comes to nature. 
Speaker 1
Aside from your journal, have you written anything about nature that has been published?
Speaker 2
Oh goodness, no. I used to dream of doing artwork National Geographic, but they really do rely on photos. AMAZING photos. 
Speaker 1
I agree, National Geographic has amazing photos. Maybe with practice you can take amazing photos too! It can accompany your writing.
Speaker 2
Yeah, that is exactly what I have been thinking. It does seem like a bit of an undertaking though.
Speaker 1
Yes, it does take time but I watched a lot of Youtube videos and it really helped me!
Speaker 2
Okaaay, you're persuading me. What do I need to do first?
Speaker 1
Well first, you will need to find the camera that works best for you. You can watch videos and read blogs on the camera before you purchase one.
Speaker 2
Okie dokey. Is there a blog that is good for beginners? I will start there.
