Larisa A. White writes to celebrate Nature, to advocate ecological stewardship, and to explore the ways in which people relate –– or fail to relate –– across nations and cultures, landscapes and species. She was raised as a global nomad, relocating every two years, as her father designed international airports. Rather than becoming rooted in one place, she spent her childhood bridging gaps between cultures, always looking in from outside. She learned local languages, attended local schools, participated in local religious celebrations, and adapted to local customs, climates, and ecologies. In doing so, she discovered the joy of living the questions, exploring diverse perspectives and solutions, and always thinking a little bit differently. She currently resides in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she spends her free time with her husband and son, building wildlife habitats, and restoring native ecosystems on lands once lovingly tended by the Ramaytush Ohlone.
