Pop sensation KE$HA jets off to the jungles of South America at least once a year, so she can reconnect with the wild.

The party-loving TiK ToK singer spent Christmas (09) in Mexican forests trying to become one with nature.

She explains, “I go to the jungle at least once a year to get away from human beings.”

Ke$ha tells Rolling Stone magazine, “Society has taught us to suppress certain things, but if I want to do something, I let the animal inside take over, no matter how uninhibited or irreverent it is.

“Crazy people are what keeps life interesting.”
