Description

Hello! My name is Tim de Koning and I am 19 years old. Originally I’m from the Netherlands, but I’m currently traveling through Panama, Costa Rica and Mexico. On my travels I have volunteered at an Animal Rescue Centre in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. At the Rescue Centre, I worked especially with the howler monkeys to make them ready for the wild life again. I love working with animals, just as much I love working with people. I love to share my experiences and gain new experiences. I’m also super interested in Buddhism. I meditate everyday and I would like to learn a lot more about Buddhism.
