Which month did you go? When is the low season?

hi andrea, i’m not sure if you’re still active (if i could get a response i would be so grateful). i’m currently a masters student at the london school of economics and political science. i’m studying development studies and for my bachelors i majored in sociology and minored in french and healthcare management. i’ve done some volunteering work, about a month in burundi at an NGo for human trafficking, among other short ventures as well. i’m concerned that getting into peace corps is highly competitive and my concerns are that i do not have enough work or volunteering experience to be considered. what do you think my chances are of getting accepted if i apply?

notes: - add statistics, how many hours, how long you worked - tailor ur cv to prioritise/highlight things that align with your pathway - choose countries that are more closely aligned w ur experience

This is helpful. I was wondering how I would go about expressing what i want in a site. For example, I'm in the interview process for a country where I'm familiar with one of the native languages, due to me being around a lot of people for the past couple of years who are from that country. And s I'm thinking I'd like to be placed in a region of that country where they speak that native language so that I can focus more on learning the "professional" language that I'll be teaching in.

When I was a volunteer in the 70s and then 80s I had no contact with family / friends other than snail mail. I also did PC two more times in last 10 years. Light years different. Interesting what expectations between generations 40+ years apart.

Very helpful video thank you!

Is housing included or are you basically having to pay housing and food and basic stuff? Don't see this listed anywhere easily. Thank you

Great video. Now weight even less wout paying. I cant carry a heavy bag as asthmatic but want to aim gor 30l and 25 l daypack tgether weigh 1litre unpacked of course. Guilty pleasure mini straighteners. I got so tired of same clothes last time wnd need to take xtra warm clothes and big stock of meds.. will do it as never ever want to check in again after nightmare....😂❤

No, no es seguro viajar en ferry a Marruecos desde España, los marroquies bombardean lis barcos, jajaja, con naranjas y judias verdes 😂😂😂😊

Why can't they afford to pay the volunteers a living American wage? Kinda unfair when we ultimately need to move back and "real pay" like 50k a year would genuinely make sense so they are not thrown in a terrible position once we return home.

Extremely informative. As a 58 F applying, I think learning a new language is going to be a challenge but so looking forward to a challenge. Great video.

Thanks for the info Very helpful. Did u get ur passport stamped when u re-entered Spain?

Can you bring it pets or service dog

Do you have the link or any contact information to be able to book this hotel ahead of time? I love the idea of the Sahara tour and would like to be able to connect with them. Thanks!

Thanks 🙏

Hi Andrea!

Hi, i know you posted this video a while ago but I have a question you mentioned paying rent to your host family is this a common thing or a choice you made? I've watched other videos where other say the PC pays the host family direct for hosting and that goes with groceries. Or where you renting your own apartment ?

I already had my LPI before getting to country via Zoom. I wonder if I will still have one at the beginning of PST?

You make it all sound like it is Rocketscience to get there. Australia is well organised and everything is easy and laidback. Not like americans

How do people can people afford to do this with having rent and bills back home in the US?

I have plan to go to Spain from Morocco

Thank you for the details! Those things would have tripped me up.

Excellent video, very informative!

Wow this is crazy, other than the medical portal and passport paperwork they have given me absolutely no info! I was accepted ~3 months ago. No learning, no Skype calls. Is this a red flag?

6:47 you're standing out the front of my office =^)

Formidable ce fort et surtout c'est fresque murale en fin d'après-midi j'allai boire un verre Au fort vue imprenable sur setubal merci beaucoup pour votre vidéo 👍🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹

Your cat is adorable!

Woo wow wow

Andrea nice vlog .

Is it possible to take your car with you? Do they have something call car ferries? I wonder what the procedure is if you want to take your 4X4 with you?

Tell me detail

Well I want come to morocco

I used to live in there for 3 years it’s really a beautiful place.

Thank you! This was super helpful!

That's great 👍👍👍

Appreciated the point about considering values you want to bring home. I know if I don't write them out, they might fade into the background. And I'll try to actually practice them instead of preaching about it(the harder challenge).

Give me

Thanks so much for making this video! I've been living in Colombia for the past few years and I've been getting stressed at the idea of moving back to the states. I think the most stressful part would all the unknowns and getting set up with a new apartment and starting over in terms of furniture, getting a car, etc. I love the idea of easing back into it all rather than feeling like you have to get started with everything right away.

Hey Andrea Wishing you snd your family a Happy Easter. Hoping this msg finds you safe and sound. 🙌☮️

I am an Arab and I want to join the Peace Corps.

My concerns are ,moving expenses,buying or renting ..paper work ,renting a container for our stuff or selling everything,the idea is overwhelming.

Yeah and don’t forget to eat food and drink water. Maybe wash yourself or brush your teeth. These are clothes. I’m an alien, explaining what humans would do, if they were to go on a normal trip

Hello Ma'am! Can we convert an Au pair visa into the student visa in Australia?

I really tried to like my Osprey Farpoint but ended up giving it to my daughter and I got the Eagle Creek 40l and I LOVE that backpack. Lighter, love that it unzips like a suitcase. It was more comfortable on my back. Weight is most important so I tend to pack clothes that are light weight. Last trip was 3 weeks through Greece and it weighed 14lbs so I was able to get on and off all the hopper planes with ease.

Hello, My name is Harry Dwinell and I am an eRPCV who served in The Gambia from 2017 to 2020. I am currently a documentary film student at The New School in NYC and am in the process of making a documentary about Peace Corps that touches on potential ways the organization could reform through conversations with other RPCVs across generations. While it is not the focus of the documentary, there will be a section that touches on the evacuation. That said, while trying to find additional videos for this section I found this video and I am curious if you would be willing to share any videos you may have of the evacuation itself? Of course you would be credited. If you have any questions about the documentary, me, or my intentions please don't hesitate to ask! Thank you!

I thought part of the whole point of being a PC volunteer was to get away from the frivolous materialism and consumerism that goes on in the US...guess not. Returned Peace Corps Volunteer here.

Andrea, what ml do you use in Frank Green ceramic tumbler?

Well hello Andrea I was going through the diff channels I subscribe to and saw ur channel so I thought I’d ask how you have been doing since everything broke out almost 2 years ago. I’m hoping ur in good health and doing well. I’m hanging in there like everyone else. Well HNY!! And may ‘22 Be a good one for you and your family. 🙏🙏☮️🤷‍♂️😆.
