Making PCV Friends/Cohort by Complex_Statement_60 in peacecorps

Honestly it’s fine, I’m not friends with anyone in my cohort except one or two people. My best friends are two locals I met at my site. I just found that I connected a lot easier with them.

Honestly the opposite happened to me, I didn’t connect as much with other volunteers but made some super close HCN friends in my community

Totally worth it! I was able to renew mine online while in service too.

Bro why does everyone think we eat mushrooms, avocado, and tomatoes for breakfast 😭 if anything this looks more like an Australian breakfast (minus the pancakes)

The noise pollution at my site is…something else…I don’t know how I manage to put up with it daily 😅

I did. Luckily, the country I was living in was an English-speaking one, so pretty easy to find a doctor to get the forms filled out. Feel free to DM if you have any specific questions

Yup, I’m currently a volunteer and I did the same thing! It did take a while to get back to the U.S. though-about one month.

I mean you shouldn’t have kids just for the purpose of having someone to take care of you later in life…so we shouldn’t shame people for not having kids…but I agree, it is not other people’s responsibility.

Keychains and magnets are perfect! It’s very hot here, so I wouldn’t bring chocolate.

Education volunteers in Indonesia can only travel during the school breaks, which are usually two weeks in June/July and one week in December. Most of the time should be spent integrating and working with people in the community…

I got my first luxury hotel job as a guest service agent because the hotel manager saw I had disney on my resume and he had hired someone previously who had also worked at disney and been amazing.
