Enjoying St. Patrick's Day with
Peace Corps Volunteers in Shumen.

WALLA WALLA -- I'm thousands
of miles away from where I was last year at this time, but
somehow things look the same. The trees are frozen in ice and
the sky is gray day in and day out. I work in a school -- which
is heated better -- but students are just as much of a
challenge.
I am a Returned Peace Corps
Volunteer who served in Bulgaria from 2004 to 2006. I came back
to America in early August to Walla Walla, Washington. Following
advice, I jumped back into the working force as a tutor at a
local middle school. Currently I am applying for graduate
school, while working full-time at the school and officiating
basketball games on the weekends.
If you've never been to this
site before, it's filled with photos and stories about my
two-year experience in Bulgaria. If you have questions about
Peace Corps or life in Bulgaria, feel free to email me at
