I'm a Peace Corps Volunteer in Timor-leste (East Timor) and this is a collection of stories from my time here. Above that I also have English resources for anyone who would like them in the Short Story Section. If you have anything you think would help future Volunteers or anyone really with becoming closer to Timor make sure to leave a comment!

Meeting my First host family!

Hey everyone!

I've been finishing up all the logistical stuff and the vaccines and now it's finally time to meet my first host family. I have no idea what to expect, but I know it will be a wild ride.

We're driving along the coast on the way up the mountains in order to get to the village our team will be in before we go to our permanent site. My Tetum is pretty bad, but I know how to say good day and introduce myself. (Bondia Maun, ha'u-nia naran Brandon. Ita-nia naran saa?)

I love all of you, and can't wait to see you again! Have a wonderful day!

Ate Aban!
