"Marta Fabregas, the founder of Nature and Oceans Adventures, radiates warmth and positivity! Her optimistic outlook was a source of strength during challenging fieldwork in Costa Rica back in 2010. Marta is not only highly skilled and approachable but also a team player, making collaboration enjoyable. Her exceptional ability to share knowledge and support others' success greatly enhances team cohesion. Working alongside Marta has been a delightful experience, and I eagerly look forward to future collaborations! Marta's educator programs at Nature and Oceans Adventures are absolutely outstanding! They offer teachers invaluable opportunities for professional development in experiential education, global issues, climate change and cross-cultural learning. Marta's programs stand out as truly exceptional, making a significant impact on the educational field and inspiring positive change."
