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!

Volunteer Site Visits Announced!

Ok so I still have no idea where I will be living for the two years, but I did find out I get to go on a little vacation/training mission to visit a current business volunteer in her site in.... RIO DEL SAN JUAN! Here´s a link to a google map of it: Map of Rio San Juan I will be in a tiny town called Almendro which if you zoom in a few times you can see on the map! I will be heading to Managua for the evening on Friday then off to Almedro on Saturday and will return to my training town on Wednesday. I hope to be able to update you then and with pictures if possible.

In the meantime, here are some pictures of my room during training:

My bed and bedside table/dresser

My Mosquito net tent/cave of protection
 

Hope you all enjoy the pictures! Love you all and make good choices!

    Thanks for giving us some insight into where you are living. Have an awesome time at the training site. So did you pack a mosquito net for the trip?

    Not quite the digs shown in Volunteers, but so typical (also tropical).
