New region, who dis?
What am I up to? Oh you know. I am just living life. Getting used to a new job, putting together my new house, figuring out how to carry a bucket on my head when I am getting water from the well. I have been coking on a tiny charcoal stove top, speaking a new …
I swear, I’m a PCV
It has officially happened. I am now a sworn in Peace Corps Volunteer. It has finally happened. After 10 long weeks of training here in the Tanga region, I am off to a whole new part of the country! This all happened several weeks ago. Almost 6 full weeks I believe which is almost as …
