Had a great time with Frontier's internship in South Africa.
The booking and organising the whole trip was held very professionally. They were also good with following up.
Had the best experience ever!
I volunteered for 4 weeks in Greece on their turtle conservation experience. I was travelling solo for the first time ever and I had nothing to be concerned over. As soon as I landed there was a Frontier volunteer to pick me up from the airport and they made sure the whole trip went smoothly! All the other volunteers and leaders were amazing and friendly, and I even made some great friends who I am still in contact with years later.
The daily activities we took part it caused me to have a lasting obsession with turtles and their conservation. I learnt a lot and I truely felt what the group out there was doing was having a massive positive impact on the turtle population, and to educate the locals on how turtle conservation is vital to their existance.
However I must say my one dissappointment was the standard of the living conditions. For the amount of money I spent on the trip, I couldn’t really see where my money had went as all the staff including the group leaders were volunteers, and we were sleeping in very basic one man tents. Except for my free frontier t shirt I am not too sure where or who the rest of my money went to.
Overall though, it was an amazing experience which has had a lasting impression on me. Defitnely a trip I will never forget (I just wish for the money they would of included at least a roll mat to sleep on).
I went with Frontier on their big cats, primates and turtles mission to Costa Rica for two weeks, with this being the first time I had ever travelled abroad by myself. I can safely say it was the best trip of my life, where I learned a lot about conservation and got to see some amazing animals around Corcovado National Park. The area is honestly incredible and I am already saving for my next trip there or elsewhere with Frontier. Everyone is so friendly, and it has given me the confidence to keep travelling by myself and do more to help conservation efforts. Truly a trip of a lifetime.
I volunteered on the Greece Sea Turtle Conservation Project with Frontier partnered with Wildlife Sense. The work on the project allows you to be part of a conservation scheme that genuinely makes an incredible difference to the Loggerhead Sea Turtle population. I warn you, you will leave the project with a near obsession with Sea Turtles, they are fantastic creatures and working with them was a real privilege. My time on the project was made even more special by the people I met, both the passionate staff and my fellow volunteers, originating from all over the world. I cannot wait to return, what better testament is there than that?
I participated on a program in the Canary Islands with Frontier helping conservation. It was an amazing experience which gave me the opportunity to learn new things and see how important it is to protect the ocean and the marine wildlife. I met a lot of new people from all over the world and it was good to spend time getting to know the other volunteers. There were so many positions and also some things which I think could be improved like the community beach cleans covering a much larger area. Overall it was an amazing trip.
