More than I could've learned in class

by: Daniela MaldonadoProgram: Tropical Marine Ecology and Conservation

This trip exposed me to more than I ever could have learned in a classroom. I inevitably met friends I'll have for the rest of my life, and learned so much about myself in the time I was here. I realized how important conservation is for not only animals/marine life, but also human civilization.

Loved everything about Belize

I loved everything that Belize had to offer. The community, island, and connections that you make all resonate with you. It's a once in a lifetime experience you will surely never forget. I'd do it over and over again.

Opportunity for the books

This program is an opportunity for the books! Staff, locals, experiences, and all are incredible. It exceeded my expectations and allowed me to face my fears doing certain activities like cliff jumping whilst cave tubing. It also included an incredibly influential opportunity to volunteer at the spay and neuter clinic for locals to be able to afford prioritizing their pets' health. I loved everything and would gladly do it again.
