I went to South Africa for “6 weeks” to volunteer at a Vervet Monkey Foundation…I ended up falling head over heels in love with 16 baby (well, toddler) monkeys and stayed for four months instead. They are beyond amazing, but are definitely not pets…I have the scars to prove it. They are so complex and emotional and have such varied personalities. I love them all. This is me with Karlito, my favorite little girl of the bunch.
