Galapagos: Fabulous experience

The daily work was kind of hard some of the days but this is something I expected since working in the nature it is hard for the environment itself. Other days the work was easier but always rewarding after finishing my day. As well, I had the chance of seeing other parts of the island where the conservation project was run several years ago and I can say that the result is rewarding.
The social environment was fantastic. Everybody said the same about the social environment. Everybody has a good time at the station, no doubt.
Furthermore the islands are a place marvelous to be visited sometime, and what a better chance than the volunteer period.
My summary is: awesome!

Hi Emilio,
We agree; hard work is the most rewarding. Thanks for putting so much effort into to your volunteering placement. How awesome to be able to see the work of other volunteers in years past and see the difference you are making!
As you say, what better way to holiday abroad then to volunteer - and in such a fabulous place as the Galapagos Islands!
We'd love to have you on the team again in the future.
