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 !

My bedroom (that's my bed/couch/chair/desk) in my host-family home.  I sleep here with Hussien, the 15 yr. old son (we both sleep on this couch).

The "entry room" (for lack of a better phrase) and kitchen (bathroom to the left).  There are only 3 rooms plus the tiny kitchen and tinier bathroom. 


The living room (with central heating)

That's our dining table.  This room actually gets pretty toasty when the daily log is put on.

    It's really cool to see where you live take some pictures from outside too so we get the whole feel. But Not So Bad. Hugs Mia
