Travel information

I am currently

Activities i am interested in:

Ecology and wildlife related opportunities. Community and environmental engagement opportunities. Sustainability and Eco-tourism, animal care.

Description

I am a student studying Ecology and Wildlife Conservation BSc (Hons) and am looking for placement / intern / volunteering opportunities throughout Central and South America for my year placement!

I will be 28 by the time I am in Central America. I already have placements lined up in Costa Rica and Nicaragua, with the hopes of finding opportunities in Honduras and Colombia, too.

I speak basic Spanish, with a want (and need!) to improve my Spanish. I will be doing lots of self teaching in England before I start my ventures. I have already solo travelled to Peru and Ecuador doing volunteering along the way, and like to think I've picked up some good skills, Spanish and ecology and conservation knowledge along the way.
