I swore out as a Peace Corps Volunteer on August 6th, 2010. Time flies. Ovevete el tiempo. Joining the Peace Corps was an easy decision. The idea of helping people, traveling and picking up a second language sounded like the logical next step after college.. I was also naïve and didn’t understand what I was getting myself into. At times I really disliked living away from home. The other 95% of the time I loved it. Every time I swore off that nine hour hell ride from Asuncion to Tacuati I’d be leveled by fact that my Paraguayan friends had done and would be doing this for the rest of their lives. I was an extended tourist. I worked with and grew close to many Paraguayans. I feel very positive about some of the work I did. I will stay in contact with my Paraguayan friends. It was a great experience. Paraguay is a great country and it will be missed. I shall return one day.
I am no longer a Peace Corps Volunteer.orps Volunteer.
