"One Night in Africa"

On Saturday, my amazing friends and family threw me a going away party. We thought it would be a fun idea to dress up and this was our attempt to dress as Africans ha. Some people's outfits were more similar to biblical figures or romans haha, but it was a great time! I have some of the most amazing friends anyone can ask for and I will miss them so much while I am gone!

Bienvenue à mon blog! (Welcome to my blog!)

Hello everyone and thanks for following my adventures in Africa! This week I received my invite to officially become a Peace Corps volunteer. My invite is for Guinea, Africa, where I will be teaching secondary math (eeek.. I have catch up on my math skills!). Not only will I be teaching math, but it will be in French... talk about a challenge! But, I am truly excited to become a volunteer and submerge myself in the Guinean culture! I wonder what life will be like with no running water or electricity? I will be leaving on July 6th to Philadelphia for staging, which is like a Peace Corps orientation, then on July 8th for Guinea! I only have a month and a half to prepare for this amazing trip of a lifetime!
