A Couple of FAQs that have been coming up

So it seems about everyone that I talk to ask a couple of the same questions... So I figured I'd post them here in case anyone forgot to ask them before I leave.

Where will you be in Nicaragua?

Unfortunately I cant really give an exact answer here. I know that I will be training in the Northwest part of the country and it is likely that I will be serving somewhere in the same area, however, the Peace Corps doesn't actually "place" me until my training is complete. This gives them a chance to see how I am adjusting to the new language, customs, and how well I can integrate into my community before deciding where to put me.

Can I send anything to you?

Of course you can. letters and small packages are best (If you send me a large package I will have to travel in order to get it... small packages and letters get delivered much closer to me). It also can take a long period of time for things to reach me, so don't plan on sending anything that will go bad with age, or anything that you would be upset if it gets "lost" or stolen in route (as these are both real possibilities). In order to get my mailing address, feel free to contact me via email or my mom at my home phone number (I'm not going to post either of these here as it isn't information I really want to attach to a public blog).

Can I come visit you?

Yes! As far as international travel goes... Nicaragua is pretty cheap and easy to get to (and I'll definitely be able to show you a side of the country / culture that you wont get any other way). So feel free to make some vacation plans to come and visit me. If you're interested, email me when you're starting to think about planning a trip and we can work out any details.

I'd like to post the first Chuck Norris joke:

There is no such thing as evolution, only a list of species that Chuck Norris allows to live.
