This is Dowagiac

I've lived in Dowagiac my whole life. It's a small town that most of my family has lived in their entire lives. I love this town, but I love leaving it even more.

I spent my college years in Grand Rapids and Tokyo. It was nice to get away, but as soon as I returned from Tokyo, arguably the most technologically advanced city in the world, I arrived home to my mother's house in Dowagiac to find no internet, no hot water, and after a few hours, no electricity. Just coming home can be an adventure, I suppose.

This blog will be dedicated to my journey into the Peace Corps. Currently, I'm nominated to a position teaching English in Asia starting around June 2012. If all goes well, I'll escape at that time!
