Kelly Hendrix grew up splitting her time between Washington, Idaho, and Montana states where she could indulge her love of the outdoors and her friendship with animals. After getting her degree from the University of Montana, Kelly has traveled around the world, visiting 36 (and counting) countries. And everywhere she’s gone, she’s always been drawn to the animals she encounters, whether it was the donkeys and sheep she encountered cycling across Ireland or the sharks she swam with in Tahiti. Today she lives with two dogs, two cats, and her husband in Wisconsin.
