August 2011, Swearing-in ceremony

My name's Amanda and this is my blog about my Peace Corps service in the beautiful and diverse country of Peru in South America.

I served two-years as a Youth Development Facilitator in the hot and arid northern coast of Peru from 2011 to 2013. This blog holds all the experiences and stories from the crazy roller coaster ride that is Peace Corps, along with reflections and observations of life back in the US post-service.

Hope you enjoy the blog just as much as I enjoy writing the posts.
