I love taking photos. In fact, recently i´m enjoying photography more and more thanks to this Southern boy i know! If you would like to see any pictures there are some here. www.flickr.com/photos/bethanberg (buy me a pro account! buy me a pro account! yep... nope...)
Monkeys. Lots of them (please note that since writing this a Peruvian spider monkey sort of smashed up my camera! Oooops. Weirdly, this was shortly followed by a Bolivian alpha male kapuchin thing nabbing my new camera. Cursed?)Billy is the best!
His interests included stealing tampons, trying to shut people in animal enclosures, pretending to smoke and chasing ´Turkey´, the slightly crazed man-hating bird who i once, accidentally, nearly killed.
I like meeting people on mountains!
