Stories of NOW RETURNED Peace Corps Volunteer Paulita, former couch potato who left America seeking a little relief from long-term effects of exposure to American culture and a life that actually feels like living. Would she find it? Read on to find out. Not an official Peace Corps page. Also, the things stated here are of my own opinion. Wish I had more time to edit this, but that's the way the mop flops. Enjoy all the same.

Hi,
I'm a college senior trying to find out if going into the Peace Corp is right for me after I graduate. I have to say that your post have been very helpful to me. Thank you.

Hi Paulette,
Your mud hut looks so cute--is this where you will be living. Indoor plumbing????? Love reading your blog. Love, Aunt Janice and Aunt Tricia.

Paulette,
I find this particular post so inspiring! I have stopped looking at all the catelogues I get in the mail. I liked looking at the pictures of beautiful expensive things, but have found that they make me feel inadequate, like I dont have enough or that i am missing out on something i should have or experience. I found out that if i dont look to 'things' or more stuff for my happiness, i focus on the real joyful things in my life. The abundance of good that i have and feel is really the love i find in family and friends. I am trying to live a more simplistic life, with less stress and less need to consume, and i am finding this is also a great way to save money for my future. win, win. Love the hummingbird story, and i can relate so much because i too watch the birds with awe and delight. i only rarely see a hummingbird here, but when i do it is special. You are an astute young woman, and you are living an amazing experience. Love you, Jeri
