On some projects, however, language skills can be a great help to the scientist 7. There are projects to suit nearly everyone. Many projects can cater to a wide range of dietary needs, and those are shown in each briefing document. Obviously, when working in more remote areas, your diet will tend to reflect what is available locally and so cannot cater to every taste. When in doubt, check with us first before you join any team.
Most projects are suitable for every fitness level, but they can vary.
Please check with an expedition coordinator and read the medical advisory in the project briefing carefully for more specific details. Volunteers over 80 have enjoyed our projects and have made valuable contributions to the fieldwork. You cannot stay on the project longer than your team. However, many people choose to travel elsewhere in the country either before or after the project. Often the principal investigator will be able to advise you on where to go and what to see.
