They own and run Volunteer Travels (www.volunteertravels.com), a non-profit organization that sends volunteers to both humanitarian and wildlife/domestic animal projects. Lars and Ragnhild, as well as Claes and Sebastian brought with them the most amazing cheer and encouragement for Sven and I and brightened our week like no visitors have before. They brought with them much comic relief in the form of Sebastian and Claes, much like the Thompson twins, making us laugh at every possible moment. We often meet people that we get along with, but it is not often that we meet people that we click with, that you share a passion with or who think the same way that you do. Those meetings are special.
Lars and Ragnhild’s passion for wildlife, nature and the environment was revitalizing and uplifting. They all had such a genuine interest for everything they saw here, from the predators and herbivores, to the trees and grubs. They have an interesting and inspiring story of retiring early, finding life boring and a bit meaningless and with that in mind going out there to change that. Now they spend their efforts and time finding out about the problems our environment faces and doing their part to fix it as well as educating others to want to fix it. Like Nelson Mandela said, “There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.” They have realized as we have, that it is about changing the mindset of people from consumer to preserver and the only way to do that is to get people to understand what is happening, not just tell them about it.
