CURRENT MISSION

"Be the change in the world that you wish to see" - Gandhi

PHILOSOPHY

I like to think of myself as a free spirit. I firmly believe that everyone has the right to live life how they feel they should, that we are all our own individual culture. We all have an opinion and the right to be heard as long as we fulfill the responsibility to listen.
I try not to judge people as much as I can and to learn from everyone I meet, everything I do and see.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

This is my testimony that I sent in for the first time I stayed at the elephantstay in Thailand, (I am in the process of making another one for my second visit).

I arrived at the Royal Kraal with my partner on Christmas Eve 2009 and from the moment we got out of the Tuk-Tuk I knew we had arrived somewhere special. The concept behind the Royal Kraal and the Elephantstay is nothing short of amazing. Everywhere you look the Village is teeming with life and love. From the children playing in the giant mounds of cornhusks, the fish in the flowerpots, the dogs taking respite in the shade and the mahouts with their families working and living with the Elephants. The harmony the Kraal has created is magical and breathtaking. The strong peaceful feelings of happiness and affection saturate the entire Village and anyone who allows them self to see the beauty, understanding and respect of the Kraal.
Staying with the Elephants had so many remarkable qualities, being able to bond with an amazing creature such as Honey was priceless. I felt deep satisfaction as I tried my best to provide for her emotionally and physically through cleaning, feeding, shoveling and caring. I was actually thrilled to shovel her rather odorless and not so messy waste on Christmas morning! I guess it’s a little odd but I wanted to show my admiration and care for Honey in anyway I could.
I feel so unbelievably lucky to have had such an amazing experience. Honey allowed me see the world from her eyes and stirred within me this electric rush of life and wonder. Sitting on top of Honey had a euphoric sensation that completely overwhelmed me. The tranquility and peace that I felt perched behind those powerful ears looking out onto the horizon is a feeling I will never forget or cease to cherish.
My time at the Kraal was short but the impression it left upon my heart was great. I will never forget this thrilling and enchanting experience. It was the best part of my trip and one of the most significant experiences I have had. I know that I will be back again hopefully sooner rather than later! Thank you so very much, Ewa, Michelle, everyone at the Kraal and Honey.
See you soon!
Much love from Canada and Japan!
