CURRENT MISSION peace corps health and life skills teacher in Moldova ABOUT ME Im a peace corps volunteer living in Moldova, a small, post-soviet country landlocked between romania and the ukraine. I work as a health and life skills volunteer in a high school, local hospital, and community, with host country nationals. I like: ice cream, built to spill, crayons, peeps, traveling, meeting people and bunnies. (they eat bunnies in moldova, I only eat the marshmallow ones.) I dont like: that peeps are a seasonal candy. PHILOSOPHY "The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don´t go back to sleep. You must ask for what you really want. Don´t go back to sleep. People are going back and forth acress the doorsill where the two worlds touch. The door is round and open. Don´t go back to sleep." -Rumi A glass of red wine a day.
