What inspired you to travel abroad?

I have dreamt of working in sea turtle conservation since 2008, when I first got in touch with these creatures through a volunteer placement after finishing school. But I knew it would be difficult to get into already existing projects because demand for these positions is high. When I met my former partner in 2015, who is originally from Nicaragua, we developed the idea to just start our very own sea turtle hatchery, because in Nicaragua, they are still quite unprotected, and land prices for beachfront properties are still moderate.
