So when I first got my invitation to Peace Corps I Googled "Guinea" to see what I could find. In addition to information about various species of Guinea Pigs, I found hundreds of "blogs" from Peace Corps Volunteers (PCVs) around the globe. Turns out, a blog might be the easiest way to stay in touch with all the people I love over the next 2 years, considering I probably won't have a computer (or electricity for that matter).
I have no idea how such "blogs" work, so I'm figuring this out as I go. All you experts out there, cut me some slack. It's not usually the technological savvy folk who decide to live in huts in the first place.
... And to give you an insight of my first attempts at Googling what my new home would be like. Pictures of cute furry rodents came up, a few maps, and then this.
