Description
Hello my friends,
I am Alen, from Slovenia (a little green country in the heart of Europe). For the past 15 years, I have lived abroad. I started in Ireland, where I completed a PhD in renewable energy. I have one foot in science and another at the airport, combining research work with travelling around the globe.
The spirit of volunteering fulfils me personally since I can contribute my little help to make our world nicer. I have volunteering experiences by taking part in NGOs like Red Cross, IAAS-International Association of Agricultural Students (http://www.iaasworld.org/), and ZNI-Institute for New Age Education (http://www.zni.si/). I have been workawaying on organic farms, animal shelters, hostels, homestays, and schools in Ireland, Mexico, India, Sri Lanka, Turkey, Colombia, Ecuador, Spain, and Kenya. Each one of them unique, educational, and beautiful story. I like to play guitar by the campfire, making earings from the plant leaves, climbing, and hitchhiking. I am looking towards enjoying every moment of life. Being free in mind and contributing as much as possible. Honestly, it is easier said than done. I want to meet you, a knowledge-seeking traveller, handcrafters, farmers, artists, scientists, and anyone open to tell me her/his story and listening to mine.
See you soon,
Stay happy
Alen

Alen did a great job with the dogs and with the other volunteers, without caring about the number of working hours: A dog needs to be taken to the vet in the afternoon? - Alen is always willing to go! Everyone´s hungry? Alen loves to cook for the crowd :D

Absolutely splendid one month in Puyo(Ecuador). Puyo is surrounded by the rainforest, the place full of life and stunning beauty. Inside this small jungle town you find the foundation which aims to help, rescue, and cure stray dogs and eventually find a suitable home for them. Inga offered the entire house to the activities… read more

Funny, smart, committed and… read more
I was at work when Alen came home. From the moment he opened the door, I realized that we will have a pleasant time with Alen.
The first thing Alen did was learn the names and characters of the animals. Then he developed his own dialogue with the animals. He observed them very… read more
