#i dont really study primatology but it was fantastic

[despite-everything]

just spent the last several weeks researching mantled howler monkeys... got sick 2x, dislocated my knee, got chemical burns from bug spray, my things grew mold from the humidity, but i also collected data and wrote a research paper, learned im a very skilled navigator who doesnt even need a map just a compass, discovered im also incredibly good at opening coconuts to drink from them then eat, navigated off trail many times very successfully, floated down a river drunk on rum, met some amazing people, and saw the craziest fucking things. i would go back in a heartbeat
