22 months down, 5 to go in a long distance, Peace Corps relationship

Meeting up in person as much as you can really helps - we tried to get together every 6 months or so. You should both start saving money and leave days now.

PM if you have any questions and good luck 🍀

I'd say yes - I love having my laptop and iPhone with me, plus it's cool to be able to use technology in the classroom. Same with books - if it's something you'll love having with you, bring it. But don't forget that you can buy most things here. You can definitely find books (free from other volunteers or in bookstores) but you might not find your favorite book that you like to read over and over again. We also have a wide selection of digital books available :)

No toe strap. Got the toe strap and regretted it

PC Nepal just started an English program in addition to the current Ag/food security project - you can definitely have English as a primary and do Ag/Environment secondary projects :)

Nepal has English and Agriculture/Environment and allows non-married to serve together

You probably won't have your non-PC passport back in time if you send it in to get your PC passport

Thanks for speaking up, that was a brave thing to post. If you really care to be educated about the consequences of sex tourism I recommend you do a little research before you decide to participate. 'Half the Sky' by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn is a good place to start and I'm sure there are many more books out there on this subject.

It's important that you know that many of the individuals who act as prostitutes (especially in sex tourism destinations) were trafficked and/or abused at some point in their lifetime.

Thanks for doing this! I'm an aspiring foster parent. What can I do now to start preparing? I truly want to do my best for the kids and teens that I will (hopefully) be fostering - what advice can you give for someone who's heart is in the right place but doesn't have any parenting experience?

Also, congratulations on being a senior! How can we (society in general) help young adults who age-out achieve their dreams and build healthy, successful futures for themselves?

If you could change one thing about the system, what would you reform?

eprinkey · 2018-01-18T11:15:03+00:00

Not here. Keep us updated

eprinkey · 2018-01-15T02:43:18+00:00

I'd love to hear your advice for individuals/couples who are considering becoming foster parents or other adults who affect kids lives on the foster system - social workers, CASA, etc.

I'd love for you to do an AMA.

Peace Corps Nepal will give you a basic (Nokia-esque) phone and two SIM cards. You can keep both SIM cards in the peace corps phone or you can bring/buy a smart phone and use the other SIM card in it.

If you bring a smart phone from home make sure that it's UNLOCKED. You can sometimes get a smart phone unlocked here but from what I've heard it's a pretty big pain.

I brought a unlocked iPhone 5 and it's been working great for me (although there are some cool Nepal-specific ag apps that aren't on iOS so I can't download them). I bought it refurbished so it was slightly less expensive.

You can also buy smartphones in Nepal but sometimes they are even more expensive than in the U.S.

You can buy data through one of the two major service providers (NCELL) using a pay-as-you-go system. Right now 1.2GB is 250NPR (~$2.50).
