CURRENT MISSION

To make the world a better place.

ABOUT ME

Hello!
We are Thaila Laudy (25y) and Frank de Waal (27y) and we have been together as a couple for 8 years now.

We successfully graduated from University in July 2012.
Frank got his degree in Sports & Movement and Thaila in Communications Management.

We love to travel, meet new people, experience new things and learn more about other cultures. For that reason we decided to not immediately start looking for a permanent job, but first travel and explore the world. That's why we have been travelling and working around the world since August 2012.
We are open-minded, social, positive thinking people and approach and experience new things with fascination and curiosity.

Last but not least we are very passionate about nature, conservation, animal welfare and the ocean.

PHILOSOPHY

"One day you life will flash before your eyes. You never know when that's going to happen, but before it does you better make it worth watching"

"Try to make the world a better place"

'A person who never made a mistake never tried something new will have to settle for the ordinary"

"Not all those who wander are lost"

''Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal. Difficult standards for people to live up to.''
