Marine Conservation: Tenerife

This trip was one of the most incredible experiences of my life! Everything was perfect: the research work as well as living with several people passionate about the same subject. Freepackers supported me throughout my internship. They were there for me before I arrived and supported me a lot during my first week. Afterwards, they checked in on me and followed my adventures via social media. I felt like I was very well supported.
