Living in paradise

I lived in the project Tortugas de Pacuare for five weeks and I would recommend it to everyone. Despite all those mosquitos, we lived in paradise: during the day, we were swimming in the sea, lying on the beach and eating coconuts.

During work, I learned a lot about sea turtles and environmental protection building a hatchery, patrolling for hours by night and guarding the turtle eggs we had just relocated. The experience we made with this giant animals was just amazing, even if work was sometimes very exhausting.

The house was also nice and living with all those interested volunteers was very exciting. In addition to that, I met a lot of lovely costarican people who taught me how to work a turtle and how to cook costaricain food. We all became a familiy soon.

I now want to keep supporting the project so I'm going back. This time, I'll stay three months. I'll enjoy every single day.
