Two Weeks

Hello friends and family,

I'm not much of a journalist, but I've created this site to keep you updated as I venture into the jungles of Panama for two years as a Peace Corps Volunteer. I'm not entirely sure how often I'll have access to a computer once I reach my destination, but I'll try to update as often as possible. Two weeks from today (April 14th) I'll be on the plane for Miami for "staging" where I'll get vaccines, a little pre-training and meet my fellow Panama volunteers. Then I'm off to Panama on the 16th. My program is called Tourism and English Advising. I could be doing any number of things but I will work with a tourism organization on the business/leadership side of things as well as teach English to students of all ages. I hope you enjoy hearing about my experiences, I know I will enjoy hearing from you while I'm away.
