Mexico - High School 2013

Mexico gave me a chance to grow and prove to myself that I was capable of such an activity - and in fact do very well at it, and love it as well.
The expedition was varied; there was learning by classroom and by practice, and in the forest and under the sea. The knowledge and experiences were valuable beyond belief at the time, and also looking back now, almost at the end of my University career.
The accommodation was less-than-luxurious, but it was more than adequate and the whole point was to camp and settle into the natural world; nothing more was needed and what was provided was good quality and clean.
The staff were wonderful. I still miss them and have been in touch with some since. The trip would have been amazing either way, but the Operation Wallacea staff, and the temporary 'expert' staff, made it even more so.
