Hello, my name is Abbey and for me the best part of travelling is being able to experience new methods of life and the vibrant culture each country has to offer. Being able to learn so many new things from even a brief conversation is so fulfilling. I love animals, fitness, art/music and the ocean. I grew up on small farms and towns in New Zealand with only 1-2 trips out of the country growing up which has only fuelled me to see the world more! I’ve always had many house pets and various livestock, but my interest was specifically in horses and I rode competitively for 5 years. I’m a tidy and hardworking volunteer and I am so grateful for organizations like this!

I love the ocean and I am also qualified to scuba dive up to 18m.Age

All the volunteers stayed in two cozy houses just up the road from the clinic. They had their own dogs that live at the houses that you became very close… read more
