Her passion for exploring the world and connecting people led her to Sri Lanka where she met Priyal at his surf retreat and a friendship was formed. Together with her mom Anelia, this idea was created. She’s known in her circles as a dog-whisperer, but Yana is looking to change the world – one person at a time.
