About this blog

Greetings and Welcome to our Travelogue!

This website documents a 27-month period of our lives as Peace Corps Volunteers in Ghana and subsequent travels around Europe following our service. As such, it does not necessarily reflect the opinion or policy of the Peace Corps/U.S. Gov't. Instead, it will take you on a cultural roller coaster as we strive to learn an indigenous language, become accepted into a Ghanian community, and practice sustainable development work (all while Chris does research for his Masters degree). We hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do, with the exception that most of you will be sharing these experiences from the luxurious comfort of your own homes. Be thankful for what you have!

Love, Chris & Sayward Fehrman
