What’s the great thing about a class with no walls? Well, that and more Nature+Creativeness+Safety. . Can you spot our Australian group from last season?

This year we took a deep breath and dove down the COVID-19 wave. Nevertheless, if sea turtles have taught us something is to be resilient and so we are already gearing up for the 2021 May-Sept Summer! #stronger #motivated #together #excited to make an even greater environmental and social impact. . . #resilient like a #seaturtle #allofus #nature #environmentalprotection #travellingagain .... .

No filtered sunset! It is our first day ritual to enjoy together as a group such magnificent gift. A wonderful Expedition start, isn’t it? . . #chasingsunsets #nature #ocean #clouds #exploration #travel #education

Our meeting point, the corner of the soccer field , pretty much downtown Ostio! Our first step to many experiential learning activities!

We got lucky. While on our last day boat visit to the MPA of the Refuge, we got an amazing surprise by a Humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) as seen on the pict. They migrate to tropical waters for breeding and calving this time a year, coming from the northern hemisphere, swimming away from winter! And yes, we saw the calf and yes turtles in the water looked pretty small . Pic: @pangdemonium1 . #beyondseaturtles #whales #mpa #nature #wildlifeconservation #whale #costarica
