[March 2025] The last year has included lots of fun travel! Some overnight hikes around Santiago, and a Week Without Walls trip to the Galapagos (spoiled!).

In March, I dived at Kicker Rock in the Galapagos. What an amazing dive site! I saw more fish, sharks, and turtles on each dive then I’ve seen total in my last decade of diving. It was amazing. We saw about 30 hammerhead sharks, which swam by us several times. (not in this video)
