This story was written in a wildlife rehabilitation center called Pomorski Ośrodek Rehabilitacji Dzikich Zwierząt „Ostoja”. You can donate here to support Ostoja. The site is in Polish, but you can use the Google Translate browser plugin.

Coming back as a volunteer after a year, I wasn’t expecting much. I barely thought about the trip here due to many work-related and horseback-archery-related things going on just before I departed to Hejtus, where Ostoja is located.

Even though the beds are different and the camper isn’t there anymore, the bedding has a familiar feel to it.

The Ostoja Diet, which is my usual diet but without much meat due to limited refrigerator and cooking capacity took over again. Even if semi-instant protein pancakes were a new discovery in my arsenal of travel food.
