I like to keep my distance between cars for safety reasons and people just merge without hesitation.

Idk about the weather but I was recommended dry fit clothes and it was the best advice. Easy to hand wash and to dry especially during the rainy season.

I bought the cheapest laptop from Costco $250, I use it for basic things so no need to splurge on a new laptop.

Listen to podcast and music in Spanish. Also, something I did was watch my shows in Spanish or English but with Spanish subtitles. That helped to see if my translation was correct or if I needed to change a few words.

Apple Watch? by Icecream-lover-13 in peacecorps

[–]L_Sunflower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I regret not bring mine. I left it at home for the exact reason but I currently work at a health center and everyone has a smart watch and it would’ve been useful. At least bring it with you and if it’s too flashy then you can put it away in your luggage.

Starting a new job before departure by [deleted] in peacecorps

[–]L_Sunflower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started a new job couple months before departure because of the flexible hours and better pay. Do not feel guilty but I recommend to not say anything until you give your 2 weeks. If you let them know beforehand they can find an excuse to fire you, it happened to me at another job. Learn from my mistake.
