At the turn of 2025 and 2026, we spent 17 days traveling across the lush tropical island of Sri Lanka. During this time, we frequently moved around and stayed in seven different accommodations, from simple guesthouses to comfortable hotels that gradually became our temporary homes. We visited the bustling capital Colombo, the majestic rock fortress…
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.

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…

However, this time I was looking…

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.
