I'm a life-time wanderer, a diehard dog lover, an adventure-seeker, a bleeding heart, and a citizen of the world. I want to spend my life traveling to all corners of the Earth, not just to see, but to understand the diversity of life. Professionally, I aim to improve welfare for both animals and people and to protect wildlife and their habitats. I'm constantly learning and absolutely love it. One of the best ways I've learned to do this is to get to know people and locals. I'm hoping Couchsurfing allows me to do this even more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled to Russia Far East to release two Amur tigers after they had been rescued as cubs and rehabilitated. It has been one of my most favorite experiences, for so many reasons. The tigers themselves, of course, made it a dream come true. But the unexpected hours spent on off road vehicles and old military tanks with a bunch of rough and gruff Russian men out in the middle of the Siberian wilderness is something I will never forget! It was perhaps one of the most vast and beautiful landscapes I've seen.
