Description

Hello there, fellow wanderers! I'm Ola, and my journey through life has led me to a profound appreciation for both travel and animals of all sorts. After exploring 29 countries (some of in my self-converted camper van) – I've come to a point where I seek to contribute to something greater.

My passion for animals and a deep-rooted connection to nature have been guiding forces in my life. From living in a caravan to last month volunteering in Montenegro, I've consistently sought opportunities to immerse myself in environments where I can work alongside and learn from our natural world.

My commitment to environmental sustainability has taken various forms, from serving as a food waste ambassador for Olio to founding "walk it, pick it" – an initiative aimed at combating litter pollution. Through community walks and educational efforts, I've strived to make a tangible difference in our surroundings.

In Edinburgh, I've embraced the role of a foster parent for animals, an experience that introduced me to the purest love of all – my beloved cat, Buba. These experiences have shaped me into a positive and inquisitive individual, eager to engage with new cultures, forge connections with kindred spirits, and continue expanding my horizons.

In addition to my love for animals, I'm also fascinated by animal photography. Capturing the beauty and essence of creatures in their natural habitat is a passion of mine, allowing me to share their stories with the world.

Now, I'm on the lookout for opportunities to lend a hand, make meaningful connections, and delve deeper into the worlds of animals and self- sustainability. Whether it's caring for creatures great and small, embarking on new adventures, or simply sharing stories under the stars, I'm ready to embrace the next chapter with open arms and an open heart.

More details about your skills

I've spent the last seven years providing care and support to folks with disabilities, mental illness, and learning difficulties. I also worked in a hospice. Alongside that, I've always had a soft spot for animals, volunteering with animals and helping out strays wherever I go. I'm also an animal foster carer in Scotland ( this way I've meet the biggest love of my life- my cat Buba (who unfortunately passed away last year- he was 18 years old).

Traveling has been a big part of my life, giving me the chance to meet incredible people from different backgrounds.

I speak English and Polish fluently, and I'm on a mission to learn Spanish.

Growing up in a small village, I learned the value of hard work and taking care of the land and animals.

Photography is my thing, especially capturing the personalities of cats during my travels. It's my way of telling stories and sharing the beauty I see in them.

In addition I have driving licence and traveled in my self- converted campervan through many countries of Europe.

I'm a caring soul with a love for animals, and exploring the world. I'm ready to bring my passion to your place!
