My name is Laurie I signed up thru GoEcho As I wanted to experience Solo travel thru volunteer It was a wonderful experience I arrived in Nusa Penida not really knowing what to expect By the end of the first day I was already feeling welcome by the staff and everyone was so friendly The meals were excellent and I bunked with four other young Ladies we all became friends And spent a lot of our free time Together I so appreciated the staff and they went out of their way to Get to know everyone and took the time to chat on a personal Level as well This was my first trip out of the country and it was so fulfilling In every way. New friends and volunteering my time for a good cause saving the turtles I was truly sad when it was time to leave I especially enjoyed the bonfire and staff playing music everyone sang along We were like one big happy family I am going back to spend two more weeks at the same location I know what to expect and I can’t wait

Thank you for sharing your experience, Laurie! We’re so glad to hear that your first solo trip and your sea turtle rescue volunteering experience in Nusa Penida was such a success. It’s wonderful that you felt welcomed from day one and connected so well with both the staff and your fellow volunteers. It sounds like you made some great memories—from the meals and friendships to the bonfire sing-alongs! We’re thrilled that your time spent saving turtles was so fulfilling, and it’s awesome to hear that you’re planning to go back for another two weeks. Knowing what to expect this time around must make it even more exciting. We can’t wait to hear about your next adventure!

I really loved all the coordinators I met in Nusa Penida! Although they are under another company (Green Lion) I love how passionate they are in teaching everyone. The daily turtle activities was by far the best experience I’ve had.

Meeting a bunch of people from different cultures

The most memorable experience I had was getting to meet a bunch of people from different cultures. I also loved to meet all the locals and learn about their day to day lives. It was also super amazing to be able to work up close with different species of sea turtles.
