For everyone wondering about the who, what, and where...

Hi everybody!

I am creating this blog as a venue to keep everyone casually updated about my current life as a Peace Corps volunteer ("trainee" until I'm sworn in as a full volunteer at the end of in-country training) in Fiji. By now I'm sure most everyone in my family and circle of friends has heard that I will be away for the next 27 months(!) serving as a community health promoter in this island nation.

As I write this inaugural entry in my hotel room in LA (the site of our pre-flight staging) I can assure everyone that I'm finally beginning to feel the impending enormity of my decision. I know that everyone is behind me and has my back- which I appreciate, as I could not do this without the support of those I love and respect.

With that said... consider this blog kicked off!

Oh yeah- the fine print:

"The contents of this Web site are mine personally and do not reflect any position of the U.S. Government or the Peace Corps."

Much love to all,
