Here are some of the Most Beautiful Animals We’ve Met on our Travels
I am absolutely crazy about butterflies. The eco lodge called The Trek Stop in Belize had a butterfly dome. I spent many waking hours in there, simply being with the butterflies. This photo was taken there.
Nurse sharks in the waters surround Caye Caulker, Belize. Yep, we got into those waters with the sharks to snorkel. Read about it here.
This puppy followed me around Casco Viejo in Panama City. Was it because every few moment I would bend down, pet it and talk baby talk to it? 
The magical birds found on the Cosway, in Panama City, Panama.
This dog was so beautiful, posed for several pictures. He lives in Portobelo, Panama.
Cheeky Monkey, yep that’s really her name. The monkey at the Portobelo Hostel & Captain Jacks in Portobelo, Panama.
Cock on Isla Taboga, Panama.
Vultures on the playa with trash on the shores of Isla Taboga, Panama.
Bella, my beautiful street dog that adapted me in Antigua, Guatemala. She followed me everywhere, even to our local Cafe No Se and would hang out wit us until we went back home. How I miss this angel.

This is Bella coming over to visit us in our house in Antigua, Guatemala. She smiled equally with her mouth and her eyes. Sending her so much love every time I look at this picture.

Lainie Liberti is a recovering branding expert, who’s career once focused on creating campaigns for green – eco business, non-profits and conscious business. Dazzling clients with her high-energy designs for over 18 years, Lainie lent her artistic talents to businesses that matter. But that was then.
In 2008, after the economy took a turn, Lainie decided to be the change (instead of a victim) and began the process of “lifestyle redesign,” a joint decision between both her and her 11-year-old son, Miro. They sold or gave away all of of their possessions in 2009 and began a life of travel, service, and exploration. Lainie and her son Miro began their open-ended adventure backpacking through Central and South America. They are slow traveling around the globe allowing inspiration to be their compass. The pair is most interested in exploring different cultures, contributing by serving, and connecting with humanity as ‘global citizens.’
Today Lainie considers herself a digital nomad who is living a location independent life. She and her son write and podcast their experiences from the road at Raising Miro on the Road of Life.
