The Priceless Adventure of a Lifetime is Yours for the Taking

The Earthwatch organization, has added a few new expeditions to their roster, and they will definitely peak your interest. What Earthwatch has going for it is that it offers clients the opportunity to work along side scientists who are studying the very things we watch in awe on the nature programs from our couches. Now, some of the expeditions might strike you as being a little too similar to those programs, such as Meerkat Manor, and you might prefer to be a tad more original. Well, rest assured, this group has got something to impress even the most travelled and adventurous person you know.

Should your preference be seeing the wonders of Madagascar, then you have more than one way to go about it. You can study those loveable lemurs, or their nemesis the foosa. Either way, you will be stepping foot onto an island like no other. Plus, there is nothing stopping you from going back to do the other expedition.

I personally have been on two of these trips, and both have been exceptional. Neither was a cake walk, as I encountered leeches on one, and the steepest of slippery slopes on another. And here I am itching to sign up for one more, the only question being do I want to see Mongolia, and stay in a yurt, or assist in tracking dolphin and whales in equally enviable locales.

now, I will not sugar coat it, the cost is not cheap, but the experience in my opinion is priceless. So, while I can’t afford to go frequently, I savour the chance to go when I can. In addition to all this I also know that the money I hand over is used in exactly the manner they say it will be. And that is always a concern on other projects.
