Biodiversity Internship - Santarém, Portugal

by: geauxtravelProgram: Reforestation and Biodiversity Internship in Portugal

This past summer, I had the amazing opportunity to intern with SOS Animal at a sanctuary in Santarem, Portugal. Overall, everything exceeded my expectations! The sanctuary was beautiful and the community there was very warm and friendly. If interested in any aspect of wildlife or just have a love for animals I would highly recommend indulging in this opportunity. The volunteer schedule was very flexible and left plenty of room t explore various cities.

I loved being at the sanctuary and being able to help with all the animals. I had a lot of fun during my time there and was able to do/see a lot. It was a great opportunity to learn about Portugal and Portuguese culture while also being able to further my experience in the animal/veterinary field!
