In 2025, I invited a small team of women to join me on an 11-day adventure to Northern Laos, home to the award-winning Elephant Conservation Center!
Working alongside elephant biologists, conservationists, veterinarians, and mahouts, we rolled up our sleeves and engaged in hands-on projects to raise funds to support the health, welfare, and conservation of endangered Asian elephants,.
We learned about Laos' elephants and the people who care for them, and immersed ourselves in exotic cultural experiences. Oh, did I mention we were treated to amazing scenery, delicious local food, beautiful accommodations, and elephants, elephants, elephants...all for a good cause!​
​
Special thanks to my teammates Stacey, Elizabeth, and Cathy, as well as the Coville-Triest Family Foundation and everyone who donated to our GoFundMe campaign, for raising nearly $15,000 for the elephants.

​We had an elevagood time!
