After over a year thinking about transferring and six months since I applied (gotta love Peace Corps!), I finally have something official to share with all my loyal blog readers. I will be completing a third year in the small Central American nation of Belize! I haven't heard yet what exactly I'll be doing but I will continue as a health volunteer. I requested to work with an NGO on reproductive health in a city and was told they are seeing how they can accommodate my preferences.
By extending for 13 months, Peace Corps provides an all-expenses paid trip home for a month. That's right, not only is my flight covered but I also get a $12/day per diem - should be enough to cover a burrito and beer right?
I arrive in Wisconsin Dec 21 and fly to Belize Jan 24. During my time in Americaland, I want to see, do, and eat as much as possible. I'm planning a short trip to Washington DC and Charlotte plus a weekend in Chicago and at least a day or two in Madison. I would love to see as many people as possible so let me know what your plans are and how we can meet up.
And start planning your vacations to Belize now!
