My next destination:
Rurrenabaque, Bolivia - from Apr 2023 until Jun 2024 View allDescription
my name is Milla, i am 20 years old and currently working with wild animals in the bolivian jungle! i dropped out of university a year ago and worked a few jobs before running away to the jungle.
Since i can remember, i have always been obsessed with animals and working with them. i spent some time in Costa Rica , volunteering in an animal rescue center and completely fell in love with the work and surroundings. Even after my time at the rescue center, towards the end of the trip where i had been staying in a small town for a month, i had around 8 stray dogs following me wherever i went - even to the toilet !!
I don’t feel as if i made the right decision going to university, as the school system never worked for the way i learn. I am an active learner and struggle to find the motivation to do things i am not passionate about. I love outdoors activities, especially extreme sports and being in the ocean. After my time in the jungle i would love to go to the ocean for a while and work with sharks at some point. I love diving, snorkeling and swimming and am always up for learning new skills too. I am happiest and most comfortable around nature and animals and just want to follow my passions to do the most i can towards helping animals in need, as well as having new experiences through seeing the world.Interests

i speak fluent english and good swedish, and a bit of french and spanish too. I have worked with babies and children of all ages. I love horse riding, I have pet snakes and a dog at home, and have previously had cats and birds, and am experienced in animal handling and care, including wild big cats and primates too. I spent much of my childhood on a farm in the forests in Sweden, and I am not squeamish or afraid to get my hands dirty, and enjoy physical work such as building or carpentry.
i have my first PADI license and really want to get my next ones. I’m a strong swimmer and love to snorkel and go fishing.Age
