Time travelling. What a wonderful challenge! Since it’s a holiday here in Lisbon, Portugal, I had some time to check my photos. I was bon in Canada. As a little kid, I didn’t know I would be traveling so much 😉 ![20230613_151916.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/4/d/4dea07328cc27b4b934409ddb0e3cb15228c7626.jpeg) Some 20 years ago, I was much into geocaching… It’s (or was for me) the world’s most entertaining treasure hunt where you use satellites to plant/find tupperwares in the woods 😂😂🤣   This is from one of the most memorable, a geocache placed more than 20 years ago, [GC4B0D The Bear Treasure (Traditional Cache) in Leiria, Portugal created by GreenShades](https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC4B0D_the-bear-treasure), revisiting it in 2004: ![120_1324.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/2/3/23da3c99ecb2a13be731f5a2ac27455c7192e841.jpeg) Still loving adventurous places.

I don’t have old enough photos of me on the phone to make it a time traveling experience. I do however have a 10 week old Samwise Greybeard, a.k.a Sammy, compared to how he looks now at 6 years old. ![img_0598_720.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/2/8/284413ffe326460c09afba36de27b26e48f3a3f8.jpeg) ![img_3543_720.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/c/0/c07d1d5340610c7fd61be82f09f5e6fd6c9de688.jpeg) He’s an Australian Labradoodle and his favorite things to do are sleeping, eating, going outside and chasing balls. ---

No real old photos of myself.

Patrick, you’re not alone 😂 I used to have a rabbit that had a female name, but it also turned out to be a boy 🤣 Now my son has a small turtle and we’ll learn its actual gender in 8-10 years 🤣 My son claims the turtle is a boy and calls him as such 😃 🐢 ---

🤣I actually had the same issue there as well! My 🐢 is 10 now, so I know it’s a boy. But the name just stuck with “Kröt” (Turtle = Schildkröte in German) because I didn’t want to pick a name while not knowing the gender :grinning\_face\_with\_smiling\_eyes: ---
