Contrast of Two Worlds In my previous article about Japan, I wrote about the problematic aspects of this country, especially about animal cafes on Takeshita Street. Animals here live in an artificial and often stressful environment for the amusement of tourists. But Japan also has its second, surprisingly beautiful side. In Nara Park, I discovered…
In June 2025, during my travels across Japan, I visited Tokyo, Lake Kawaguchiko, Kyoto, and Osaka. Although this time I didn’t volunteer at any dog shelters, I encountered many domestic and wild animals. Today I’ll focus only on the negative experiences and impressions from Tokyo, where tourists — especially on Takeshita Street — become part…
36 horses, 3 cows, 5 dogs, 1 pony, and many other animal beings. This is the Domov pro koně south of Prague. After the first visit to the Domov pro koně in Central Bohemia in Leština, my man and I decided to visit this sanctuary again, a horse shelter which we have been financially supporting…
After my first article about volunteering at the AproP dog shelter in southern Spain, I received many beautiful responses and questions about the specific dogs I had the opportunity to meet and walk. Each of them has a unique story, personality, and a big heart longing for love and a home. In the following lines,…
This winter, I decided to embark on a volunteer experience that was different from my previous ones. A year ago, I spent a week at Tenerife Horse Rescue, where I helped care for horses, dogs, donkeys, and many other animals. That stay was intense, full of work, and enriching.

However, I am fascinated by its perfect organization, professional management, and connection of activities with the wider public. History of…
Today we’re going back to my roots 😊. I love travelling the world, not only to see different countries and cultures, but also to help various animal shelters. Next up is APROP Animal shelter in the small town of Pego in southern Spain. But more on that next time. Today, we’re returning to my hometown, which I regularly visit to see my family and the doggies at the UVP Košice shelter.
Dear animal lovers, today I would like to tell you about the Jarikhanda animal shelter near Zlín. I have been donating to this shelter for a long time and we managed to visit this place once. So let’s go there together. How it all began on Jarikhanda Imagine you have dreamed of creating a safe…
Animal lovers and adventurers! Today I’ll tell you about a trip with Bahriyeli, a company that’s doing something truly exceptional in Tenerife. Imagine sailing on a beautiful schooner and suddenly spotting whales and dolphins in the wild! And all this without harming these amazing creatures in any way. Awesome, right?

There is a Domov pro koně – an exceptional facility that provides a sanctuary for old, sick, unwanted or abused horses. This sanctuary was founded in 2010 and has since won the hearts of…
