I Am Esmé Cadiente,

a devoted traveler and student of the world, loving wife, new-ish mama, learned scientist, artistic photographer, creative cook, and proud human of an adorable coyote-fox-dog. After spending ten years in Southern Colorado, I now live in Santa Fe, NM with my husband, our kid, and our pup. My family and I travel as often as we can —we go where our intuition takes us, where we can ski, surf, snowboard, climb mountains, eat weird foods, visit friends, make friends, couchsurf, communicate in hand gestures, and learn something new. My full-time work is rooted in forestry and fire ecology in Northern NM and Southern CO.
