Turtle Conservation in Parismina

I absolutely loved working in the Parismina village in Costa Rica working with mainly Baula (Leatherback Turtles) during this time of the season and releasing around 50 turtles during my time there. We stayed with a local homestay family, helping give the locals an income in a village that did not have much. It was awesome to be a part of such an impactful project. Every day in Parismina was extrodinary-- from the other volunteers I met from all around the globe, to getting to see a turtle lay it's eggs on the beach, to cleaning the plastic that collected on the beach, everything we did helped in some way. I'd highly recommend the program to anyone who wants to really experience something they can no where else. I even looked into change my flight so I could stay working there!
