Biodiversity Internship - Santarém, Portugal

This past summer, I had the amazing opportunity to intern with SOS Animal at a sanctuary in Santarem, Portugal. Overall, everything exceeded my expectations! The sanctuary was beautiful and the community there was very warm and friendly. If interested in any aspect of wildlife or just have a love for animals I would highly recommend indulging in this opportunity. The volunteer schedule was very flexible and left plenty of room t explore various cities.
