I’m Amanda, a freelance researcher/writer (and wildlife rescue volunteer, foster home for cats and dogs, and animal rescue volunteer, and volunteer vet tech). I’m a Detroit native and I retain my love of the mitten. I live in the far west with my dogs, cats, and husband. I always look for the nerdy science/history side of travel, especially if it involves random animal facts!

Look at the camera! With the Teton Mountains in the background.
