A 27 Month Peace Corps Adventure in Colombia. What is Peace Corps? Representing the United States. November 21, 2016. As a Peace Corps volunteer, we represent the U.S. to our host countries.

It’s part of the job. Yes Am I glad that there is not just one person with all the power? Yes However, w...

A coastal Colombia Christmas | this brianna hope| a blog about life in Peace Corps Colombia
http://thisbriannahope.com/a-coastal-colombia-christmas
A coastal Colombia Christmas. In the United States, at least in the Midwest, there are several signs that Christmas is coming:. Lights arrive at Target in September and October, around the same time as the hats, mittens, and gloves (that way you can get them up before the roof’s just a sheet of snow and ice). As soon as November 1, marketing at all stores is all about Christmas. Mint and gingerbread-flavored things appear. That one oldies station starts playing non-stop Christmas music. Día de las Velitas.

Students who choose to learn. To learn. (Okay, so this is true no matter what culture/circumstance I am in.). These are people who spent as many as 3 hours a week with me learning English. Some of them are interested in learning to open up job opportunities. About 10 of them sell goods at a weekly craft fair and want to have the skills to be able to talk to the occasional tourists who come by. Some of them want to be able to travel. Some just plain want to learn. FOR WHEN MY BLOG IS UPDATED! I'm Brianna ...

A year in Colombia. A year ago today I arrived in Colombia. To begin my journey with Peace Corps. A year ago today I left Wisconsin to get to Miami; what follows is just as true! I was calmer than I had expected to be, only nervous about what my host family would be like. I sweat a lot, the 100 degree shift from January in Wisconsin to January on the Caribbean coast not sitting well with my body. But neither did the air conditioner in the hotel, set to 16 – which in Fahrenheit is 61. I had never heard of...

The Violence). It was extra bloody, leaving 300,000 dead – one of the deadliest wars in the western Hemisphere. In 1953 t...Around this...

Music Monday: Twister “el rey”. There are four main styles of music popular here on the Caribbean coast of Colombia: vallenato, salsa, reggaetón, and champeta. If you’ve been following along, I’ve written about vallenato before. Salsa you might be familiar with from dancing or watching people dance.
