WELKAM LONG BLOG BLONG MI!....translation....Welcome to my Blog!

I have a Bucket List...even before "Bucket List" the movie was created I had a Bucket List. One of my Bucket List items has been joining the Peace Corps before I kick the bucket. So, 10 years ago I applied, was accepted and was moments away from departing before realizing that it wasn't meant to be because I had too many teeth in my mouth. Long story short, to join the Peace Corps you're obligated to extract your wisdom teeth if they're a hot mess, which mine were. I couldn't afford to extract them so after 3 months of crashing at my sister's apartment boo-wooing with disappointment I came to terms with the Universe and moved on.
I always knew I'd reapply, but wasn't sure when. So, one day in late 2008 when I realized I wasn't as happy with life as I once was I went online and reapplied. A year later on September 11, 2009 I boarded a plan in LAX with 41 strangers in route to Vanuatu-- a gorgeous South Pacific country consisting of 83 islands (that I never heard of before Peace Corps). Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am a believer in the power of manifestation not to mention I'm a persistent little Boriqua and now here I am sitting in the Vanuatu Peace Corps Office fulfilling one of my dreams and living la vida "Ni-Van" on the other side of the globe. I hope you enjoy my stories and thanks for visiting. Please note the contents of this website are mine alone and do not reflect any position of the U.S. Government or the Peace Corps.

Celebrating Halloween in Port Vila

My girl Courtney and I LOVE Halloween. It is hands down my favorite holiday ever! So she and I decided to create a "Halloween Commitee" this year, which basically consisted of the both us as co-chairs. LOL For the past month we toiled over the details of what we wanted to do and on Sunday, October 31st we had the 1st Annual Halloween Party/GAD Fundraiser in Port Vila at The Saloon Bar/Restaurant. It was a blast! Check out our pictures.


Lady Gaga, Greaser, Sue Syvester (from Glee) & Fortuneteller Madame Esperanza make their appearance.


It took a Team effort to put on the Lady Gaga outfit. Awei!


It's not an outfit without a manicure.

Even Rainbow Brite showed up...A-listers only!

Flipchart Man crashed the party! LOL J/k
Madame Esperanza attempts to kick the random dog that entered the Greaser's home.
