One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I volunteered for 5 weeks at a wildlife rescue center in Thailand. With the group of volunteers and the Thai staff we took care of 300 primates, 27 bears, 8 elephants, a crocodile, an otter, a couple of birds and 17 dogs. This was such an amazing experience! I love the animals and it was so touching to see how they slowly recover from the horrible lives they had... And it was so special to work with the elephants...Feeding them, give them a shower and taking them for a walk. I still wonder how they can still be so kind after so much misery... They really became family!

Also my diving in Thailand was amazing. Beautiful to experience this whole different world of life:)

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn to play the guitar a little bit or maybe learn a dancing style:) I did jazz/modern dancing in the past.

I have had 6 years of Spanish in high school and I would love to teach people a little bit! I am also really interested in using food (vegetables, herbs, etc) as medicine. I have read a lot about the subject and I'm happy to share my knowledge...
