Hi, thank you for looking. 
Firstly I just want to say that I do not expect people to spend their hard earned money on me so, thankyou for taking the time to even look at my page. 
Little back story for ya, in Nov last yr I finally, at the grande old age of 35, passed my driving test. (3rd times the charm) I was so excited to finally be able to take my pupster on a road trip up and down the English coast. Planned it all out, picked my car out, then out of nowhere in March this yr my little pup got sick. Long story short, the day after her operation she died in my arms on our kitchen floor. I lost my best friend that day. Ripped my heart out. Since then I've been re-evaluating my life and what I'm  doing with it. I've always been an animal lover and thought what can I do with that. Turns out not much without qualifications , unless it's volunteering. So that's what I've decided to do, unfortunately it costs a fortune. Especially the courses I wish to do. The first one is an anti poaching course located in South Africa. (Link below) the course is run by a man with over 30yrs experience, I would be learning how to track and monitor the movements of animals, identify poaching hotspots, removing snares and learn how to make legal arrests of poachers, amongst many other things. A second volunteer programme that I wish to do is a training course that would make me a qualified Game Ranger after completion. I can't imagine anything more amazing, to make even the slightest difference to the survival of a species is a remarkable thought. 
Obviously with Covid bringing the world to a bit of a stand still, the money brought in from volunteer work is going to be invaluable. It is something I would to be a part of. 
In the mean time I've started a Zoology course to boost my knowledge and have been looking at working abroad, places that offer room and board which will help a great deal with trying to save some cash. Fingers crossed one day. 
Thank you again for taking the time to read my page. I hope I didn't depress you too much! ☺️ 
To any millionaires out there, you know, 50 grande should cover everything. Nah I'm joking, I'm not greedy, 40 grande would be fine.
