“Volunteering was the best experience of my life! The turtles are so cute and it was very fulfilling to take care of them. I met loads of amazing people, visited places that looked absolutely out of this world, and gained lots of independence. I feel as though this experience has changed me as a person, I’ve learnt a lot. The coordinators are amazing: they’re easygoing, funny, dedicated and always there to make you smile. The food and the accommodation was excellent.”
