Volunteering in South Africa – Dreams Come True

Posted by: Sol

África mía (my Africa)… there is no better way to call you…

I left home with the hope to shake hands with my most sublime dreams carrying fluttering butterflies inside me, that always push me towards challenges. I felt like I was lost and found myself in a different dimension that transcended the mundane… I swam into another reality, far away from my job, the hours, the sounds and fast paces of the city.

Volunteering in South Africa at the Wildlife Sanctuary project, I discovered the most beautiful way to think about life, to really discover what it means to be alive…

MAGIC. The only word that I have that is close to explaining how this month volunteering at the Wildlife Sanctuary has been in that little place hidden in the world that changed my life forever…It is truly magic to wake up to lions roaring, knowing that you were sleeping just a few meters from them… The magic of going offline and just living each day to appreciate the little, but beautiful things in life. The magic of feeling that one week is enough to find soulmates around the world…

Africa, you were my deepest dream, my biggest life lesson, my Neverland… you stole my heart, you changed my life and most of all, you offered me the most beautiful experience. Love is an amazing thing where time and the reason do not matter…

Thanks to everybody who made that month the best month of my life!
