Mind-blowing
October 02, 2019by: Constance LorchelProgram: Malaysia - Jungle Trekking and Sea Turtle ConservationAll three weeks were mind-blowing. I discovered so much the local communities' culture and the biodiversities of the jungle and the Perhentian islands. The interns formed the best team and immediately made me feel welcomed and integrated. My most memorable experience was camping in the jungle. It was truly exhilarating to be walking, eating and sleeping among all the animals and nature! During that night I felt fear, anticipation, and excitement but it was the best mix of feelings.
Jungle trekking and turtles
May 19, 2017by: Lauren - United KingdomProgram: Malaysia - Jungle Trekking and Sea Turtle ConservationI had the best time on this trip. Malaysia is a stunning country, so the chance to trek through the jungle, visit the caves and see the magnificent islands was just incredible. The staff and interns we met on our trip were friendly, warm and lots of fun. The activities were great also - so many things I would probably never had the chance to do, like caving and sea kayaking.
