I Might Be #safeathome And Stuck Inside, But I Remember When I Walked With The Animals!

I want to share my videos from my favorite past adventures around our planet during this time when we cannot travel due to COVID-19.

I was able to walk with the animals in Tanzania, Galapagos Islands, Canada, Kenya and the United States!

I hope you find inspiration until we can all begin to wander around the world again.

See animals I filmed including: Flamingos, mating Giant Galapagos Tortoise, Zebras, Lions, Polar Bears, Wolves, Elephants, Sea Lions, Giraffes, Baby Animals and Hippos.

Lions roaming in Tarangire, Serengeti and Maasai Mara

Did you know you can WALK with Polar Bears? Nanuk Polar Bear Lodge

Dancing with Wolves in Canada

Elephants can move surprisingly FAST! If you drop your SD card out of the car, do NOT get OUT

Sea Lions SURFING in Santa Monica, California

Giraffes seem very FRIENDLY

On safari, I loved the BABY ANIMALS the MOST!
