Well, here it is! Welcome to the site I'll be trying to keep at least moderately updated while spending the next two years in Kyrgyzstan. I can't promise too much given that I'll probably have limited internet access/ I tend to be a horrible procrastinator, but I'll do my best.

For those who haven't heard the basics, I'm leaving today (!) for a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Central Asia. After a three month orientation in my host country, I'll be teaching English as a foreign language to Kyrgyz students. I will, of course, be wanting to hear all about what's happening back home, so please please please send me emails even if I barely know you, or if your emails consist of what you did at work today or what you made for dinner. I promise I'll love getting them even if I don't respond in a timely manner. Also, if you feel the urge to physically send me something, you can send it to this address during orientation:

Kyrgyzstan,
725000, Kant City
97 Lenina Street, RUPS
Mailbox #22

I'll have a new address once I move to my permanent site, so I'll be sure to post that later. I think this is all for now. My next post will come from overseas!
