Hi! My name is Kendralynne. I am 19 years old and currently live in Oregon. Ever since I was a little kid, turtles have been my absolute favorite marine animal. During my highschool experience I took Marine Biology and did all my projects on every type of turtle I possibly could! So, you could say they are a big part of who I am. Being able to experience this beautiful journey would be a dream come true. I get to help sea turtles survive and live in a better environment. Such a beautoful cause that I hope one day I can do as a permanent position. But for now, I would love to be able to volunteer up to 2-3 months with the price of $200 a week. Housing , food, and wifi are covered. I just pay that price weekly along with paying for my transportation costs!! Which adds up quickly. I am currently working two jobs and trying to attend college. But of course, life is life, and it can be insanely hard to save up for a huge trip like this. Anything helps, even a simple dollar would be completely generous. Thank you for supporting me regardless!!

Along with helping the beautiful sea turtles, I want to work on photography for my personal self along with the conservations webpage and promotional areas along with practicing with my dream of becoming a documentarian. So, I will be documenting this amazing journey as well. Capturning wonderful shots of the turtles, the other outstanding nature surrounding me, and the people that live in Costa Rica that can teach us anything about the turtles and their culture.
