What does your typical day look like? And how does an absolutely bonkers day look like?
A typical day starts off pretty routinely. I arrive at the reserve at the main cabin where we have all our gear. I change into my current clothes and dress appropriately for work.All day long, I give tours to tourists who come to the reserve. I help them climb, hike, and extend their campsites. I also have to check that no one has entered the reserve illegally, since it is a protected area.On the other hand, I spend all day reporting on the areas, reporting fires, and taking inventory of our equipment. The routine.
On a really bad day, we have a lot of tour groups. Especially from schools and religious groups. They're difficult people to deal with, and I don't do well with large groups.The country where I live has an internal armed conflict, so from time to time I have to deal with guerrillas who cross the area to gain their positions and influence. Sometimes they get aggressive. But they are usually kind despite being public enemies of the state.And then there are the days when someone gets lost. I've had 24-hour shifts because someone decided to get lost in the woods. Don't get me wrong, it's part of my job, but it's stressful and demands a lot from us.
I find it mind boggling that there are actually guerrillas in your area and people, schools, etc. felt safe enough to camp there? Damn. Stay safe out there!
I don't know what country you're from, but you need to know that these types of situations are normal in the country where I live, especially in rural areas. Thank you for your good wishes.
