Leigh, I have been following all my friends who are in the Peace Corp, or traveling abroad. I have a found love for the DR as I spent some time in Monti Cristi at an orphanage there. I want to return so badly. Do you get a stipen for your work wth the peace corp, or are you strictly volunteering. Your adventures make me want to travel.
ReplyDeleteI feel stuck here in NH, like I am not really doing anything important with my life. So I am inspired by all that you are doing and accomplishing over there.
I can't wait to visit!
