Bali is amazing!

Volunteering in Bali, Indonesia on the sea turtle conservation program was very very fun and life changing. Getting to work so up close with those beautiful creatures was so amazing. Being an ecology major, this experience made me want to pursue what I am doing even more than I already did. Twice a day, you clean turtle tanks, clean turtles, feed them, and catch crabs and clean the beach! I felt like I was making a true impact. However, I do wish that there was more scientific validation behind the program. My program manager addressed my concerns and plans to talk with the coordinators about that. The first week was an amazing orientation in which we were exposed to Balinese culture and got to visit some really neat sites. We had the weekends to ourselves to go explore anything we wanted to see. Overall, Bali is a must in terms of traveling and volunteering. You won’t be disappointed
