Because here I am a month into Peace Corps life, learning to use a latrine, eating enough beans to blow up and making memories along the way! #peacecorpsrwanda #peacecorps #mindfulness #travel #simplicity (at Rwamagana)

Let the studying begin! I have been on my Peace Corps journey for a little over a week now and I cannot believe I am living with a host family, learning a new language, fighting off cockroaches for the latrine and making new memories! "Buhoro buhoro" slowly by slowly #peacecorpsrwanda #peacecorps #travel #mindfulness (at Eastern Province, Rwanda)

Things that happened this week: -"We're ringing the bell? Hang on, then, I need to put on my cape." -about a million miles walking round Kigali -"I think I'm sick from eating Real Food" -taking motos in Kigali -going through the airport with three people, six suitcases, five backpacks, a dog, and a cat -"Platinum, Silver, and Gold... That's not us. We're, like, upcycled brass...and socks from the free pile." -bye, Kigali -emotionally overwhelmed in the Doha airport because nothing is bad -"everything is clean and functional. except me." -"is that water...clean...can I drink it? Gonna try it. I have the fear. It doesn't taste poisonous... It's cold!" #peaceoutpeacecorps #herewegoagain #makingitiswear #isthisevenreal #peacecorpsRwanda #heylookmaImadeit https://www.instagram.com/p/BrJQdJ-lYHG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2rn9pye0xdpp

It's the end of term 2. My kids nailed their exercises last week and I like them a lot more than I did in term 1, so we're watching Mr Bean's Holiday. So far one kid has almost fallen off her desk screaming in horror at the seafood. This is what I live for. #herewegoagain #Apluslessonplan #imarealteacheriswear #ipromisewedontjustwatchtvallthetime #thesekids #peacecorpsRwanda

Airlines: You need a large crate bc your dog's ears are tall and her legs are long :) My dog: 📦 #shesfine #ithoughtthiswouldbeatoy #apparentlyitishome #sweetCecil #puppylove #puppiesofpeacecorps #peacecorpsRwanda

I may not have indoor pluming, but at least I can watch the sunset from my toilet. #latrineviews #peacecorpsRwanda

When you open a box of emergency cheez-its because you're starting week 2 of being ill and you discover your mother stashed colourful felt-tipped pens in the box, but you missed them months ago when you opened the package. #itslikechristmas #sheneverfailstosurpriseme #mymumisbetterthanyours #thecarepackagethatkeepsgiving #peacecorpsRwanda

In other news, my school has acquired a tiny bby cow who couldn't figure out what to do about the rain. #mynewfav #sofluffyandsmol #iloveit #peacecorpsRwanda
