Guys, I have amazing news. Thanks to the over one thousand people who liked and shared my blog across Facebook and the rest of the internet, I was named one of the 8 Top Bloggers in the Peace Corps for 2016!

This is a really exciting day for me, because not only is this the 100th post on my blog, but by coincidence, it’s also the day that I’ve achieved several readership milestones.

I might be in a regional capital with other expats. It’s hard to know now, but what I do know is that it will be one of the hardest but most rewarding things that I will ever do with my life.
