My posts will likely become longer and more artistic as I learn more about the tools I have to work with. For now, I am going to begin at the beginning. It seems like a good place to start.
For anyone who didn't know already, I have been accepted into the Peace Corps. I will be traveling to Benin, Africa. I leave July 13th and will be gone 27 months.
My goal is to use this blog as a tool to keep people informed about my experiences as well as answer any questions my friends/family/acquaintances have about my travels. With any luck, people will get some benefit out of my posts. Of course, a blog is a two-way street, so be sure and leave plenty of comments! I will do my best to answer any questions and keep my readers engaged and informed -let me know if my writing becomes stagnant and dull, since a blog isn't much good without interested readers.
À la prochaine!
- Matt
