About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Being myself without trying

ABOUT ME

Currently a Peace Corps volunteer living in Aranos, Namibia. Aranos is located 140km east of Mariental, in the heart of the Kalahari desert. I will be teaching math at the senior secondary school in the rural town until late 2014. I live in a house with space for many, if anyone is inclined to make a trip out into the desert.

Aranos is a town of around 7,000 people, with large red sand dunes and camelthorn trees everywhere.
