Working Abroad

It was a really nice experience. I felt usefull and really accompanied.
I was in a super family. They were always there for me, and accomodation was perfect.
The country is a good experience in Asia. The culture and the food was interesting, and so different from Europe.
I also met so many people, and it was great to be able to share things and culture with others.
Every time i had a problem, i was able to ask, adn everybody was there to answer my questions.
I reccomand and i want to go back in a trip as soon as possible.

I arranged this adventure for my husband and 14-year-old son. This was totally out of their comfort zone, and they loved every minute of it. Due to COVID, we made a lot of changes to the travel arrangements. The team was awesome to work with. Once in Ecuador, they felt safe. Accommodations were fine and the food was delicious. They had first-hand experience interacting with those beautiful tortoises. They helped to remove endangering experiences and surveying for birds.It was a meaningful experience. Buyers beware, those tortoises loved their food and they are fast to get to it!
If you also want to tour other islands, try to add at least two weekends in between to explore the rest of this beautiful area.

As a 50-year-old woman travelling with her teenage daughter I was filled with trepidation before the trip. However it was all needless worry. From the moment we arrived in Puerto Maldonado we will made welcome and part of an extended family. Despite a trip to the local hospital on the middle weekend This trip was absolutely the trip of a lifetime. Highlights included, but are absolutely not limited to, hand feeding bears, holding hands with monkeys, keeping a Nightingale warm in the palm of my hands, meeting amazing people from all over the world and making friends for life. Even the accommodation which was basic was more than enough as time in them was limited through work but also socialising. All in all .... a FANTASTIC TIME was had.

Sverything was amazing!!!!! I would defenetly do it again if it would not be that expensive. I paired around 3000 for two weeks. For other volunteer or internships I pay that for two months. Besides that it was fantastic!!!
The stuff was very open and easy to work with. They fought you everything you needed to know and let you work alone. It was a great way to learn to take responsibility. We also did not only go to already excavated areas but also explored new sites. That was very exciting. The text they sent me right before the trip was extremely helpful. I had everything with me and I actually needed everything on that list.
It was freezing at night, so my house family kept on giving me blankets. It was amazing to life with a family there!
Thank you for that wonderful experience!

Absolutely loved my time on the Galapagos Islands! Had an amazing time doing the conservation work especially the work with the tortoises. I made some great friends and got to see some of the other islands in my spare time as well. All of the team on San Cristobal are super helpful, with projects but also with fun things to do in free time and the best ways to explore some of the other islands. The host families you stay with are also super helpful and i even learnt some spanish by the end. It was hard work but ultimately worth it in the end. I would recommend this trip for anyone looking for a way to make a difference whilst also getting to experience one of the most beautiful places in the world. I stayed for 3 weeks but wish i had had the chance to stay for so much longer.
