Volunteer in Greece: protecting marine turtles !
@ 2005-12-27 - 14:35:03 Hello my friends,
I have no idea where this blog is gonna go, but in time I want to post some interesting ideas I will have, and fotos from places I seen.
I'm a painter- can see my site- http://www.beautiful4est.com , so I'm free as a birth, always searching for the red pill, ready to explore, amazing my mind with a different perspective of the rabbit's magic hole, wondering how deep it is.
This is me, with my very often misunderstood favorite smile position.
Here the saga begin: Switzerland where I was au-pair for a month. Was a nice start, but taking care of childrens is as traumatic for me as fot kids ![]()
And finally...Greece
I was volunteer for 3 months in "THE KATELIOS GROUP
for the Research and Protection of Marine and Terrestrial Life" can see more on the site http://www.kateliosgroup.org/

On the ferry, going to the island. A jaw dropping image.
An personage in my trip is Charlotte a crazy english girl born in the same day as me, just a few hours difference, who was turn into five stars gold traveller after reading the Alchemist. Can see her blog at: http://www.twentysix.blog.co.uk ... We have a lot in common, the same stars guide our steps. She want to make a 2 years trip around the world, with a big one year stop in India. Is a big temptation to follow her steps.
Back now to Kefalonia, here are a few nice fotos:
The Crusoe escape episode. Not my best idea, but a very funny one. A craft boat made of dump materials.

the very short floating moment

Comparing the tatoo from Clara's arm with what I see in the water.

Aaron and me under the umbrella.
A sweet foto with the volunteers painting stones.
Ha ha...Clara, me (middle)and Barbora. A difficult task for my 2 fagile wings to make me fly.
The good bye fire...nice but sad when someone leave the group.

The hijackers. The best way to travel...

don't know why, but I find this foto quite funny 

Ha Ha
a spaish dude dreaming. So cute 

Paradise or something like it?

this is Pinu, a spanish biologist, with a smile that olny a corpse can give to him.
He is one of my soulmates that I find there. Nuts...![]()

A view from the highest pick from the island. Can see the entire island from that point, and in not a small one.

My genesis, a commission painting.

Saana - Made in Finland. The greenest girl I had ever seen. A little bit exagerated sometime, but a good example if we want to keep our planet blue. For example she does not eat imported food. Ten points !

A horror panorama from out hotel in Athens. I hope they will never hear about Kefalonia...No more comment.

Me in the middle of the tourist invasion on the Acropole.

Back to Romania - the Bucegi mountains.
I made around 3 000 fotos in the 3 months as long as I was in Greece. There is so much more, an impossible choice to make a short story. Now feel sick when I look at them, I just want to return there. Is not easy to work as a volunteer there, but I say that it worth 100%

Aaron, his hockey sack, and his tent
USA

In the morning, after a night patrol I saw Aaron's magic tent, small as a shell on his back, with one hand who had no place inside halter outsite - an hilarious image that made me laugh for half hour.

Hello Adi!
Nice to 'see' you!! Especially as a woman - you look good you know?!!
Thanks for your comment on my blog. Where are you now? Still in Romania for the moment?
By the way I'm flying to Bangkok on 8th January will probably spend 6 months in that part of the world and then on to India. But I really have no plans, so my direction may change!
A bientot,
Charlotte x

I'm sure there was lots of work involved and very few luxuries, but in the photos it looks like amazing fun.

Oh yes, it was more than fun. At leas from my point of view. Some may see the serious part, but I prefer to see the other one, and specially to remember it ![]()

I found your blog because I was looking for stuff about Kefalonia. I am hoping to move to live there soon. It is a lovely place. It looks like you enjoyed your time there. The Turtle project is important work - thank you for spending time protecting the wildlife for the future.
