Hi everyone. I've created this blog so that I can keep friends and family updated about my life in Madgascar as a Peace Corps volunteer. I don't know how often I'll be able to update, since I haven't exactly made it there yet. Ok, not too much exciting going on just yet, I am leaving for my training in Philadelphia in two days. So yes of course I am waiting until the last minute to pack everything; old habits die hard. It's been pretty surreal getting ready to move thousands of miles away to a country I don't know all that much about for two years! Enough for now, I'm tired and not being very interesting at the moment :)
