Bienvenidos to my Blog!

Hello Family, Friends, and Curious Readers,

Thanks for stopping in to see what I am up to. This is my first blog, and I hope not to bore you too much with the details of my life. But rather hope to offer you some insights into development work, the highs, the lows, and well the boring.

But before I move away for 27 months, let me give you a little information about myself before I lose a steady internet connection.

So after graduating from Boston College in 2005, I decided I wanted to learn Spanish and "save the world" so I moved to Cusco, Peru. I began by volunteering for The Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco by researching and writing a small business plan for the organization. I continued to work with the organization until February of 2008, when I returned to the US to prepare for my move to Madrid, Spain for 15 months to study an International MBA at IE Business School. And now, after a year of searching for the perfect development job, and taking odd jobs in the meantime, I have joined the Peace Corps and am volunteering again. So wish me luck, and PLEASE someone stop me from volunteering again!

It's Friday, Friday!

Today the first rain of the rainy season happened, and that is a big deal here in Nicaragua. It marks the beginning of a new season filled with thunderstorms and puddles, but it also marks the end of our orientation here in Managua. (They just happened to coincide)

Tomorrow we will be moving into our home stays for training. I will be in Masatepe in the region of Masaya. This area is known for its artesan crafts. I'm excited, and will let you know more when I get there!


Cheers and make good choices!

    Seems like Masatepe is a great place to start your PC Training. Have fun checking out the artesan markets. Looking forward to hearing more about your home stay.
