In 2008, for her husbands career opportunity and a chance for adventure, she and her young family moved to Indonesia and Malaysia for 7.5 years.

There she earned the moniker Pritimama as she created a following where families were inspired by her taking her young family on treks, eco-adventures, and highlighted multiple sanctuaries and education opportunities for endangered animals, including the Orangutang of Borneo, Gibbons and Elephants in Thailand. She also took opportunities to learn more about the Indigenous tribes in Indonesia and spent some time with the Dayak Tribe in Kalimantan (the famed Head Hunters Tribe). More recently she climbed Mount Meru (4566m ASL), and spent time with Mountain Gorillas in the Impenetrable Forest in Uganda. She is currently working with the local community to set up an Eco-Tourism program to benefit the local people including school children, orphanages and the Pygmy Tribe in the area.
