Projects Abroad México

Releasing baby turtles into the pacific ocean is probably one of the greatest moments of my life. Spending the days doing hard work at the turtle camp, doing beach clean ups, birdwatching and crocodile conservation, and the nights on patrol looking for turtle nests now sounds like absolute perfection to me. I would have done this everyday for the rest of my life if I could. The staff are supportive and caring, and really do want you to have the experience of a lifetime.
I also took part in the animal care programme, helping to clean and care for animals in the city, and at the centre at Centinella. The animal centre is somewhere that I would say that the more proactive you are, the more you will get from your experience. My work there ranged from cleaning cages in the morning, feeding early afternoon (including a pelican who couldn't eat by himself) and then training the falcons in the afternoon. It was important to build a relationship with your falcon, and spend time with it everyday. The social life is great, the staff help organise things for weekdays, but your weekends could be left free for travelling, such as a trip to Puerto Vallarta.
I have returned twice already to México, and if I had my way, I would be on a plane back there tomorrow!!
