If you could have an encounter with any animal in the wild, which would you pick? For author and actress Jane Alexander, it was the exotic Himalayan Monal pheasant. She got her wish in the mountains of Bhutan and told Katy about it. On Monday's episode we talked about quests, and Katy mentioned she'd like to embark on a quest that has to do with seeing animals in the wild, and that made her think of Jane and a conversation they had a while back. Listen to Katy's full interview with Jane Alexander here: Episode 143: CRITTERS (with Jane Alexander). ---------------------------------------- ADVERTISE WITH US: Reach expats, future expats, and travelers all over the world.
