I=Interviewer, Z=Zoltan
I: Zoltan, you’re a herpetologist which means you study snakes all around the world. So you have to travel a lot. Do you ever take holidays?
Z: No, not often. My work is also my hobby so I’ve been to Paris, to Rome, to the Pyramids and I went sightseeing there but it was always because my work took me there. For my last trip I was in the Sudan and I went looking for butterflies.
I: But you must take a holiday sometimes?
Z: Well, once or twice I have travelled to places not connected to snakes. For example, I spent a holiday in the Seychelles with some friends. They enjoyed the beach and the markets while I went diving with my underwater computer.
I: Is that your most important item when you travel--your camera?
Z: Yes, my camera and my sleeping bag. With a sleeping bag, you can study anywhere you want.
I: So, do you ever stay in trees?
Z: If I go with friends, I might stay at a luxury hotel or a resort but normally I’m on my own so I rarely book a hotel in advance.
I: What about when you were a child? Did your family take holidays?
Z: Yes, but I have been interested in snakes since the age of two. So, when we travelled, I looked for snakes and took them home. For me, a holiday has always been about exploration--about finding beauty and the unknown.
