An amazing and unique experience

I had the most amazing experience with the Traveller's Worldwide program in Peru. I met wonderful people, got to live in the amazon jungle for a month, participated in conservation projects, and learned so much about the people and the area. On a typical day, I would wake up early in the morning and go to the clay lick to watch macaws and parrots as the sun rose as part of an ongoing research project. Later in the day we would be out hiking in the jungle for another biodiversity research project or for a learning opportunity (the jungle survival hike was my favorite). I also helped in spanish/english lessons, took trips to the local villages to build gardens, and also had time to just enjoy Peru. The only downfall was the bugs, but hey, it IS the jungle. The experience of not only traveling to, but volunteering and working in a foreign country is one I would never trade. The staff was incredibly helpful and I am still friends with some of them to this day. I would go back in a heartbeat.
