So, a little bit about us... We are Kirsten and Luke, 24 and 26 with plans to experience more than just the here and the now!

We're travelling around Thailand from December 2016 to June 2017. We plan on volunteering for a couple of months at an animal sanctuary on Koh Lanta and with Prampradee, a fundraising charity helping to build an Eco Village for the Thai locals and for whoever else would like to experience the values the Eco village can bring.

We want to volunteer as we feel we have so much to offer and give back to the community, especially as I'm half Thai, there's a strong connection. Our ultimate goal is to eventually open up an animal sanctuary of our own somewhere in Thailand. Taking in sick and strays and rehoming them for the better whilst also educating people on how best to look after their animals.

That's jumping the gun a little though and plans for a bit further in the future. We'll be hopping over to Canada From June 2017 to work the summer and fall season at a children's camp and do what we hope we do best, make others smile! But to make our goals achievable, we want to continue working in Canada to start building on the money we need to put towards starting the foundations of our own animal sanctuary!

The only fear is running out funds before we can even begin to try. We would like you to help us keep us on our feet and help us go all the way!

Our page will be live for 175 days as this runs to April 12th my birthday and 2 days after Luke's birthday. This will be the day our adventure hopefully truly begins!

From day 1 of our travels, I will be starting a blog so you can follow our journey, watch us grow and be with us all the way!
