Bali is beautiful. Although I don't think ill ever ride an elephant again. they should be in the wild not used to entertain us. lesson learned. 

 My grandpa and I rode the elephant. I have no idea where this happened. My grandma's photo album says that we were on a road trip from Kansas to Wisconsin. 

I was in Thailand at the island Koh Chang, witch is known as elephant island.

If a place has a nickname like that you must al least see an elephant and way not ride one to? You are there anyway.

I liked it! It is not scary at all, as some might think.

With Chaiane Ioane, 2014. Just like riding a horse, only slower :) 

 In May 2012 I rode an elephant at Elephant Sanctuary in Hazyview, Mpumalanga, South Africa 

 Went to India for an internship...

Got the chance here to sit on an elephant ! Was amazing!

 I got to ride an elephant at the Tadmor Shrine Circus.  I got to sit in front and pet its head.  It was very dry and hairy, and surprisingly tosses you back and forth a lot.  It was fun, but I'm glad we don't ride elephants for regular transportation.. my legs would kill me! lol

In the summer of 2015, when I traveled to India with 11 other girl-guides and four leaders, we went for an elephant ride up to the Amber Fort. It was a truly brilliant experience, and I can heartily recommend it to any other India-goers! 

 They just love bananas and dives!

 On the 11/10/2017 we visited the Elephant Sanctuary in Phang Nga and I was given the chance to ride an elephant! It was an amazing experience!!

 Ride an elephant as a preserve in Malaysia

 I rode on in India in 2007

Kinda what you'd expect. Glad I did it!

During my time working at the conservation I got one chance to ride an elephant. I rode him while we were giving them a bath and it was amazing. He got up and walked and I felt so high in the sky and it was an amazing feeling! 

 While riding the elephant the path was too small; the driver had the elephant fell a tree.  It was very humbling to watch the elephant step on the tree and bring it down with no effort.

I then rode again in Jaipur up to the palace.

Sooooooo slow. But elephants are way cute. Gentle giants.
