Two weeks from tomorrow I will board a plane to Philadelphia, where I will finally meet my fellow PC trainees for a couple of days of pre-departure orientation (staging). From there, we will somehow get to JFK, then to Dakar, then to Johannesburg, and finally, land in Antananarivo, Madagascar sometime on June 12. I will spend the following 10 weeks living with a Malagasy host family and taking part in intense language, cultural, technical, and health and safety training, which, combined, will hopefully prepare me for the following two years as an English teacher somewhere on the world's fourth largest island.
This blog is my attempt at keeping my family and friends in the know.
Welcome! I look forward to sharing my adventure.
