My Travel Story

by: Alexis Large Start Date: Mar 3, 2022 - End Date: Mar 2, 2023
Everyone has an arrow in life. That thing in the back of your head that you've always wanted to do. Maybe it's too expensive. Too risky. Or maybe you're simply scared of what other people might think. Whether it's a lifestyle, a hobby, or a career. You choose to ignore it.

All my life, I've wanted to be a part of something bigger than myself. To be the difference I wanted to see. Shortly after, I discovered a love for travel. A love for new experiences. A love for learning about other cultures and ways of life. And also, a love for animals.

Making a difference is what I was meant for. It is MY arrow.

As stated on the trips page, "All animals that come to our center were rescued from illegal traffic or hunting, as a result of this, they are orphans and very young, in some cases babies who require feeding by bottle and a lot of care and interaction to gain confidence and can adapt to a new group of the same species, this is the challenge that a volunteer is faced, cover not only food but emotional needs of animals arriving after suffering abuse and malnutrition."
