Christine Klotz, MPH, has lived as a nomad for almost 20 years, balancing a career working as an international public health professional in refugee camps around the world with long distance walking for thousands of miles in more than 100 countries. She has lived in various locations in Thailand including Phuket, Koh Samui, Koh Lanta and Chiang Mai, participating in the thriving digital nomad scene, and sampling an array of yoga retreats, hiking excursions and cooking schools. On her first day in Chiang Mai she was immediately reminded of Thai hospitality when she got disoriented on a forest trail in an area without mobile phone coverage. As sunset was approaching and her phone battery was dying, she hitchhiked with a local family back to their village where they charged her phone with their solar battery, fed her, dressed her in the largest Santa sweater they could rustle from the closet to stem the post run chills, and drove her to a nearby main road to catch a taxi, finally bequeathing her with a bag of freshly boiled eggs from their free range chickens and all the while staunchly refusing any kind of material compensation with broad smiles. They did, however, reluctantly accept the return of the prized Christmas sweater. Christine is always dreaming about the next adventure. “It's a beautiful world, and I'll be thrilled to explore it with you one step at a time.”
