What were your impressions of your destination?

Costa Rica is a marvelous place and the project was so great! I learnt so many things about sea turtles that I feel I could be a marine biologist!

Was the work interesting and challenging?

The work was really interesting, it included a variety of activities such as beach patrolling, night research, public awareness etc.

What was your accommodation like? Did you feel comfortable and welcome at all times?

Accommodation was very good. I stayed with a local family, and they treated me as if I were their son. They are happy and welcoming people. I really loved it there. I wish I could stay longer! :-(

The organisation was good and the staff kind and friendly. They took good care of all volunteers.

Do you feel that you got value for money on the project?
