Redrawing the world with Nia Weinzweig: A Welsh in New Zealand.

More than just a vet - Veterinary Life Journeys

Nia is the latest #MTJAV guest. After feeling disappointed by her first job in the industry, she started to travel around the world and ended up in New Zealand. Her amazing life story goes through Japan, Nepal, and Stewart Island. But we will also talk about Wales, her drawing (a passion that made her the front page of a kiwi magazine!), Sea lions storming football pitches and golf courses, and much more!
