My conservation expedition to Costa Rica was life-changing. I helped release rehabilitated sea turtles and learned about marine ecosystem protection. The local guides were incredibly knowledgeable, and I felt like I was making a real difference. Six months later, I still get updates about the turtle sanctuary's progress!

As a teacher, the educational workshop in Guatemala was perfect. I learned sustainable farming techniques from indigenous farmers and brought those lessons back to my classroom. The cultural exchange was profound, and knowing my visit directly supported the community's education fund made it even more meaningful.
