WHY I'M BLOGGING

May 15, 2014
I don't think I ever would have survived as long as I have through the Peace Corps application process if I didn't have the ability to read current Peace Corps Volunteers (PCVs) blogs. Honestly, I felt a bit like a stalker, trying to find out how a stranger a few thousand miles away was washing her clothes or going to the bathroom in a hole.
Reading all those blogs may have seemed weird or obsessive to my family and friends, but it definitely kept me sane through the long application process (which I'm not entirely finished with yet). I am so thankful that the internet was full of resources for me to read through in my moments of doubt or restlessness, I feel obligated to pay it forward.

So here it is: a blog chronicling my whole Peace Corps journey. Whether you are a friend or family member, or if you are a potential Peace Corps applicant who is shamelessly stalking Peace Corps Volunteers the way I did, I hope you enjoy it. I pledge to do my best to keep this honest and interesting.
