About this blog

Hello,

This travologue captures the 27 months that I will be in the Dominican Republic with the Peace Corps (Sept. 7th 2003-Nov. 26th 2005). I hope that this experience will challenge me and push me to my limits, building my confidence and independence, while letting be creative in my work. I hope you enjoy the travelogue and the trip proves to be an unforgettable experience.
