Sharing laughter, learning, life… and JOY!
A third-year Peace Corps Volunteer from Central Pennsylvania serving in Moldova located in Eastern Europe!
During my Peace Corps pre-service training in 2014 I was nominated by my training group as “Most likely to extend.” Apparently they knew better than I did then. After 2 years of serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Moldova as a Community & Organizational Development Advisor, I had the opportunity to extend my service for another year. I will continue to work with youth and entrepreneurs in a variety of technology programs. I arrived in June 2014 and will finish my service in August 2017, making that 3 years (40 months) total of serving with the Peace Corps. The first two years have been full of incredible learning experiences while living with an amazing host family in Bălți, the second largest city in Moldova. I look forward to sharing more as the adventure continues!
Follow me along on this journey as I embrace adventure, share moments of laughter, stumble upon life lessons, highlight beautiful images, and do my best to choose JOY at every opportunity.

Hi – I regularly travel to Moldova, I had lone some research there on Roma/Gypsies and I am engaging with East European migrants in UK as part of my job. It’d be great to exchange some observations with you re: culture
