In which I explain and disclaim.

I’ve been having a very hard time deciding which route I want to take this blog in. As you might be aware, I am not the first (nor the last) person who will be blogging about their Peace Corps experience. As a matter of fact, there are many blog already out there that tackle a very similar breath of experiences to my own, there are blog posts about the exact same thing I am blogging about!

We all know that our experiences aren’t entirely universal, but at the same time we understand that there will be plenty of overlap. I’m sure there are only so many experiences to be had with a squatting toilet (More details on the matter in a future post!), but that doesn’t excuse my lack of detail about it.

Squating in the name of Science

You see, like a good research article, a good blog (in my opinion) should encompass the majority of your (my) experiences for the laymen. I should not have to expect you to do the hours of research I’ve done simply to understand some obscure facet of the Peace Corps experience.

That being said, I’ve come to the decision that I will (as those who came before me) create this blog with the implication that you have no idea what the Peace Corps experience is at all! I will also shorten the posts a bit for the original, to a target max of 500 words to increase readability. But don’t worry, I won’t condense stories and lose quality, I’ll simply post more to make up the difference!

So, with that out the way, expect future blog posts to chronicle the initial stages of the Peace Corps Process (as seen by me)... with the culmination of this prequel chapter being close to my target departure date. And, as always, if you have any questions feel free to ask them. I will try to answer them in future posts.
