Testimonials

Louise N.

Australia

Bali Sea Turtle Rescue

It was so exciting, knowing that one of the turtles that had been in our care was soon going to start his life in the "big blue." I couldn’t hide my anticipation, regardless of the fact that we release a turtle (or two), every week.

Marine and Turtle Conservation

To know that you have had a positive impact on saving such a beautiful creature from extinction, it is very rewarding. It’s not an experience that comes around often and I’ll hold it close to me for the rest of my life.

Teaching and Community Work in Goa

I realized that even though I came prepared with lesson plans every day, the kids probably ended up teaching me more than I taught them. I left India with gifts I couldn’t possibly buy in any market: unconditional love, kindness, and gratitude. Coming to Goa was the best decision I ever made.

Bali Sea Turtle Rescue

I think the most incredible experience was the turtle release. When a turtle is ready to leave the center after rehabilitation and care, you release them in the ocean at Gamat Bay, an amazing secluded beach. I personally cried: it was really an emotional experience to release back the turtle into the wild.
