Izzy Talks began her journey out in beautiful Ecuador this January with one of our Leap teams, spending 3 weeks high up in The Andes, 3 weeks deep in the Amazon Rainforest and 3 weeks at the coast for the ultimate Latin American experience! Apart from wanting to experience the amazing environments, people and culture that Ecuador has to offer, as well as volunteering therefore making a lasting difference to the people and places she meets….Izzy had another very special reason to be there!

When Izzy was 7, she won a comptetition through the BBC to have a butterfly names after her! 10 years on and Izzy set out on a mission to find her butterfly Pronphilia Isobelae and to raise awareness about protecting the world’s rainfoests! After spending 10 weeks volunteering with us in some of the most beautiful locations Ecuador has to offer….Izzy set out on an amazing adventure accross the continent covering Peru, Bolivia and other incredible countries before ending up back in Ecuador, where the search for her butterfly now begins! Lets wish her luck….and watch this space!! Pronophila Isobelae…..the search begins :)
