It's been weird to be back in NYC post-Haiti. I don't really want to talk about what happened, but at the same time, everyone is asking me what it was like. Here's a quick review:
How was it?
It was hot, humid, dry, sad, depressing, and dirty.
What did you do?
We mostly gave a lot of medications to as many animals as possible.
Were you scared?
No, but I probably should have been.
Would you go back?
Yes but they don't really want us.
What was the worst part of it?
Having to jump through bureaucratic hoops to help people and animals.
What was the best part of it?
Meeting people from all over the world who wanted to help the people (and animals) of Haiti because it was the right thing to do.

Thought of the Day
I travel not to go anywhere, but to go.
I travel for travel's sake.
The great affair is to move.

Where I've Been
About Me
- me
- Since 2006, I've worked with several NGO/non-profit veterinary organizations, helping to provide free or low-cost care to animals and communities worldwide.
When not transporting anesthesia machines across the Pacific or chasing South American street dogs with dart guns, you can find me studying, sleeping, studying, swimming, studying, studying or studying.... (did I mention I'm in vet school? ;-)
