MY STORY

Why I created Vaya Planet

I’m Alexia, a former wildlife volunteer and animal keeper.

Working in the field, I discovered some incredible projects… but also a side of wildlife volunteering that you don’t often see.

​

That’s what inspired me to create Vaya Planet: to offer volunteer opportunities and internships with projects that genuinely put animal welfare at the heart of what they do.

​

Today, wildlife rescue centres and organisations trust me to select their future volunteers and interns. And on your side, I’m here to support you before, during and after your experience.


No empty promises. Just reality.
