Loved the snorkeling
August 10, 2025by: Riley FlemingProgram: Thailand College Pre-Vet Medicine
The snorkeling was so good. It was one of my favorite parts of the trip. I got to see the animals we were working with in their natural habitats. It gave me such an appreciation for what we're doing out here.
Thank you so much
