My guest for this episode is Dr. Martine Van Zijll Langhout.  It was a real pleasure to have
this chat! Her passion for wildlife is tangible. 

Her passion for wildlife conservation and medicine took Martine to many wild places in the world, where she worked with a wide range of wildlife species. Currently she's head of the veterinary department in Amsterdam Zoo and next to her work, she wrote a book about her life in the wilderness and what we human can learn from wildlife (Over Leven in het Wild). The enthusiastic reactions from readers inspired her to get a degree in life coaching and since then she's helping people to stay close to their heart and follow their dreams, which she's thoroughly enjoying. 

In this episode, we discussed about the importance of living the present moment, the fact that it is not easy to find your own way :"it does not come easy, things are difficult, embrace when it is difficult, you have a high chance when you persevere" and her "go with the flow" way of thinking. I loved her mindset: " see where life takes you instead of trying to really be rigid about the way you want it". Her advices are invaluable for everyone, from young scientists to be to older veterinarian specialist as myself!

We also chat about the role of zoological institutions and conservation of wild species. We as humans, also have to realize that "the world is not made around us", we are part of it and it is a good reminder about humility and deep appreciation.

Without further due, it is my great pleasure to welcome my guest Martine. 

Hope you enjoy the travel.
