Meeting all the new people and getting to know them

I’d say the most memorable experience of the trip was just meeting all the new people and getting to know them and learn about where they’re from. Not only did I enjoy the people in my own group but I also enjoyed meeting locals and other people in the program.

Release the turtles and seeing them crawl to the ocean and swim away

My most memorable experience would have to be the sea turtle release. When we went to the beach and got to release the turtles and seeing them crawl to the ocean and swim away was a lot of fun, as well as the hike down.
