My Travel Story

by: Ernesto Contreras Start Date: Aug 3, 2017 - End Date: Sep 16, 2017

When I arrived in Puntarenas, I had nothing but uncertainty and the dream of finding an opportunity to help others with my knowledge and develop as a professional.

After 8 months of volunteering with various rural and cultural tourism projects, I have come to the point of feeling the importance of having some resources to make a significant impact in the communities where I met many friends who gave me their trust.

The idea of ​​sharing with them, learning more about different lifestyles and developing my professional skills, while several organizations and communities benefit, are the reasons that make me think of continuing this adventure and look for help in order to make this happen.

My goal is to get other volunteers to approach the project to help the business development of these communities. To achieve this I need the tools that allow me to work and communicate with them, both volunteers and my friends.
