Do it
December 30, 2021by: OwenProgram: Ecotourism Volunteer and Intern with Galapagos National Park
Do it, you will be in one of the last places on earth where conservation is the priority, if amazing wildlife, life-changing experiences also a crazy perspective of life, be part of Galapagos. I would recommend this study abroad experience because it opened my eyes to the many different ways to live an amazing life, showed me amazing wildlife, and save me lifetime memories.
This experience had been a dream of mine for so long

This experience had been a dream of mine for so long with such high expectations it still blew them away. The nature and wildlife are something I wish I could stay with forever. The community is so amazing. It was great making friends and I love the small-town life more than anything, thank you for this experience. I love this island, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience the people made it feel like hoe I will miss this place every day.
