Zoo keepers often travel for conferences and research, but even when we take leisurely vacations we always find a way to squeeze some animal time in. Be it at a zoo, wildlife park, or on the water, keepers can’t seem to stay away!

Want some ideas on how to save on your next trip? Being a zoo keeper, or anyone with non-traditional weekends, we are already at an advantage. According to Nomadic Matt (professional travel blogger who has been featured in the New York Times and on CNN), flexibility in travel days is one of the biggest money savers in airline travel. Good news for us Tuesday/Wednesday weekenders! Check back for a post on money saving tips (and details on grant opportunities for wildlife professionals!).
