Not taken nickname!

Really hoping Sam will continue his journey. His calm voice, the ambient noises, the animals he encounters (including the humans along the way) were so soothing for my animal lover soul. We need more of this in our chaotic world. ✨
SAM’S VOICE

tappin-on

It’s Sam’s magical voice that caught me. He could talk about a nest of writhing rattlesnakes and I would be entranced. It has a rare timbre of warmth mixed with humour that makes his gentle animal tales totally addictive.
