Loggerhead sea turtle conservation experience
July 22, 2022by: Hannah Cox - United StatesProgram: Greece Sea Turtle Conservation Short Term InternshipI was an intern for the month of June at the GVI Greece base. It was an amazing experience working alongside ARCHELON and the wonderful staff members and volunteers for GVI. Being a part of loggerhead sea turtle conservation efforts in the Mediterranean Sea was incredible and helped prepare me for my future career in environmental conservation. I could not recommend this base and experience more!
Hey Hannah, thanks for your great review! I am thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your time with us as much as you did. Your hard work and efforts have certainly impacted this project in a meaningful way. Wishing you all the best on your future career journey. Please do keep on spreading your love for GVI! And obviously, we would love to see you back on base soon!
I want to thanks GVI for everything!
December 12, 2018by: Imogen - United KingdomProgram: Greece Sea Turtle Conservation Short Term InternshipMy GVI experience has been amazing! The staff were incredible! They made me feel welcome when I came and helped me through everything I needed and wanted! They helped arrange things so that we were happy on surveys and spent time with us during the day building relationships! I wouldn't change anything in my experiences at all and want to thanks them for everything they helped me through! The volunteering and internship were amazing! My mentor helped me whenever I was stuck and also helped me through more struggles than just the internship! He would talk to me if I was down or homesick and made my experiences better! The beaches were beautiful and the people I've met here will be my friends forever! I will 100% do another GVI project and hope to expand my GVI family!
Best two weeks experience
December 06, 2018by: Catherine - AustraliaProgram: Greece Sea Turtle Conservation Short Term InternshipHonestly one of the best two weeks I've had. It was such a rewarding experience working to protect the hatchlings and clean the beaches, and the friends I've made will be lifelong. The leaders at Giannitsochori were kind, welcoming, funny and inspirational, and I'd definitely do it again. Loved it and miss it already.
