I’m leaving for Siquijor island tonight, to meet some people working on the marine reserves there. I have no idea where I’m going, what I’m doing, or where I’m staying! Internet access is pretty scare on the island, so I’ll be incommunicado for the next few days. Back in Dumaguete on Thursday. I think.
Becks is a marine ecology PhD student, living in Queensland (Australia), Dumaguete (Philippines) and London (UK). Marinegirl is her online alter-ego. She dreamt her up as as super-gorgeous superhero saving the underwater world (if you've seen Captain Planet, you get the idea). She is not, and never will be, in the marines.
