ABOUT THE BLOG

My name is Cory and I served as a Peace Corps Agriculture Advisor - Business Volunteer in Ghana from October, 2016 through December, 2018. I chronicled the details of my projects and experiences as a volunteer while sharing many aspects of Ghanaian culture in this blog.

Thank you to everyone who read the blog while I was in Ghana. Writing was a huge emotional outlet for me and every time friends and family back home responded to something I had posted, it filled me with energy to continue through the more challenging times of my service. Your words of encouragement and unique perspectives on my posts were greatly appreciated.
