My Travel Story

by: Shannon Browne Start Date: Feb 17, 2016 - End Date: Feb 16, 2017
I am currently studying animal behaviour in university. I also have a level 3 in animal management. I have always had a passion for working with animals and I want to start gaining as much experience as possible so that I can work with a variety of animals in the future. In the past I have worked in animal shelters with dogs and cats but my real passion is to work with wild animals. This is one of the reasons why I want to begin working with different animals around the world to help with conservation. The reason I have chose Thailand so that I can begin to work with elephants as they are one of my favourite animals. Most elephants in sanctuaries have been rescued which is why I would like to volunteer with them to make sure that they have a better life than they would being used for tourist attractions. Working with these amazing animals will not only help the animals get a better life it will help me grow as a person as I will learn a lot.
