Guinea!
Peace Corps Volunteer - Guinea '06 - '07 (evacuated) There are times in life when opportunities arise that cause one to veer off of a certain path. This page is an attempt to capture the essence of my life in Guinea and the travels that have now entered my experience.
Always in the deep woods when you leave familiar ground and step off alone into a new place there will be, along with the feelings of curiosity and excitement, a little nagging of dread. It is an ancient fear of the unknown and is your first bond with the wilderness you are going into. What you are doing is exploring. -- Wendell Berry
