'I'll be back!', says Fillipo Omelda, after volunteering on Aride Island, Seychelles

I have visited and got to know different countries and experience nature from around the world. But nothing has affected me as deeply as Aride. The experience is an unforgettable one. 

I have some knowledge of plants and on the Island, I was able to make my own small contribution in plant propagation, but I also learnt a lot. The breeding season was spectacular and those who were on the island showed me a new world and I thank them very much.

The comforts are not 5-star hotel-like but I had no problems. It's not for everyone, but it's not so bad either and the connection to the outside world was there often. 

And if there was no connection, I talked to those who are now my new friends, which is even better!

The initial idea was to take care of nature, but I return home with the feeling that nature took care of me. If you have the chance, you like nature and are not afraid of a lack of comfort, you cannot miss the opportunity to spend a few months in Aride.

As for me, I will go back as soon as I can!!!
