I was born and raised in Montana and love nothing more than exploring the beautiful nature we are so blessed to have here! A translator by trade, I spend much of my time in Vienna, Austria and am happy to share the Otter with others whenever I am off gallivanting in other ways. The Otter is a little ecocosm of joy and wonder and I am certain you will love her as much as I do!
