Welcome!

Hello! This is my new blog all about the wonders of nature. Take a look, comment, smile, frown however you feel. Hope to entertain you and hopefully teach you something about biology just as I am trying to learn myself about it. I dedicate this blog to all the scientists who spend their life trying to understand nature and protect it. And as future biologist pledge to do the same.

The story behind Conchettaville. 
My nickame is CONCH, conchis, cricrunch,  concha, conchita and all the possible derivatives from conchetta. Back in highschool I told a story to my best friends of a girl named conchetta, and the name stuck. Changing to Conch and staying that way, conch because I am swimmer. I've swam for the past eighteen years and love everything that has to do with the ocean. As a kid I had to be dragged out of every pool and beach (I never had enough swimming for the day). I went to the beach EVERY break while  living in Honduras... Nemo and flipper are just other names I've been called.  You get the picture almost all my wardrobe is blue,  I have a drawer full of swim suits and bikinis, thousands of accessories made of conch (most which I had to leave back in my hometown, Tegucigalpa) and I'm obssessed with learning about marine organisms. They love me back too, Jellyfish from around the world can't handle staying away from me. -_- '!
