My Peace Corps Adventure

The next phase of my life begins on March 19, 2012, when I depart for a twenty-seven month adventure in Morocco. I initially arrive in Rabat, Morocco’s capital, and begin training, not only in the language and culture of Morocco, but also with respect to the service and assistance I will provide.


It is amazing how much I still don't know about my impending Peace Corps experience, given that it is almost upon me. I will be working in the "Youth Development" arm of the Peace Corps, but what my duties will be remains to be seen. I might teach English to children, coach soccer, or work with educators to establish educational guidelines.


And where I will call "home" within the confines of Morocco is equally unknown. I may find myself in a village with no or limited utilities (electric, water, sewer) or perhaps in a sizable town with my own high speed Internet access. Not until my training is almost complete will I have answers to these and other questions.


...so stay tuned if you're interested in following me on my journey. I hope to log in and comment often on my experiences and share with you some of the highlights of my odyssey !

Victory!!!  My first venture with the squatty potty was a success! ...well, sort of. ...any landing you can walk away from, right?    I won't go into any details, but if that's what you call a successfully landing, there are a number of passengers who sure as hell aren't flying that airline again!


It's fricking snowing here, so so much for Africa.  We are very close to what everyone says is a great ski resort, but its not really working for me.  I'm sure I will be begging for this weather come August, but give me the heat!!!

    I've used this type of restroom before. Not to be tried after many beers :)
