I was awarded a scholarship in 2011, as a journalism student, to go to the Amazon rainforest for two weeks and photograph the wildlife. It was the adventure of a lifetime!

Cool is something fun and exciting; cool is something that you want to do or to have; cool is something that you definitely want to be a part of!

I listen, observe others and I ask questions. This way, I find out about trends directly from the people involved.

I find out about very unusual things that people do and things that people buy. I had never heard of many of them prior to visiting Trend Hunter. This way, I'm exposing myself to areas that are relatively new to me; it's fun!

It's very difficult to label a particular trend as my favourite. However, since I love the ocean and dolphins, talking to dolphins is probably my favourite trend (part of "62 Unique Underwater Trends").

Keep them short and clear; at the same time, explain why something is becoming a trend.

I keep a notebook on me at all times. When I see our hear about something interesting, I always write it down. These notes help me think of creative ideas when I need them.

Animals, the environment, and people -- especially those people who show a deep passion for something. This inspires me to write, so others can learn about them as well.

A trend to collect artwork featuring extinct animals. This would remind people to protect the endangered animals of their day.
