Kerri McCrea studied zoology at Queen's before moving to Thailand in 2013.    Since then, she and her Thai-Karen husband Sombat have set up their own elephant project called Kindred Spirit Elephant Sanctuary which works with local communities to bring elephants home to the forest and away from a life of work in the tourism industry.   In today’s episode we talk about:
  • Kerri’s love for animals from a young age
  • The career path of a Zoologist
  • Why she moved to Thailand to set up an elephant sanctuary
  • What it like living in a hill-tribe village
  • The impact COVID has had on the ‘elephant industry’
  • And the greatest challenges/successes she’s faced along the way
