 The moist breath of the surrounding rain forest flows through you with each lungfull of air as the small group makes its way along the narrow trail carved out of the steep river bank. Above, sunlight filters through the high canopy; below, the river flows lazily along, its high banks thick with jungle growth. Often, your guide turns and explains the flora and fauna surrounding you, or maybe a historical tidbit about the trail you follow.
As you walk along, you think about all the different angles you can use to write and publish several different articles from this one journey into the rain forest. You look forward to sharing the heat, dampness, and buzzing life of this thick jungle forest.
You smile to yourself as you make your way through the brush, and you think... "I've got the best job in the world."
