Taking action for sustainable tourism

Joséphine traveled to Ecuador for sea turtle protection, and she shares her experience with us!

 

WHAT THIS EXPERIENCE BROUGHT ME…

The local people and the project manager
were eager to show me their country and community.
They were very caring and offered me varied tasks. This allowed me to integrate and meet many people from the village.

 

WHAT WERE THE TASKS ASSIGNED ON SITE?

  • Painting schools and public places
  • Protecting turtle eggs
  • Feeding the turtles
  • Cleaning the sea turtle tanks
  • Collecting trash on the beach
  • Identifying turtle nests

 

WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS MISSION?

Yes, I recommend this mission which allowed me to take action for sustainable tourism. It is supervised by people who dedicate their lives to the environment and animal welfare!

If I had to rate my experience, I would give it 5/5!

… AND FREEPACKERS?

Yes, I recommend Freepackers because the support is excellent! They handle your questions and make sure to connect you with the project managers on site.
