I have given in to inevitable temptation and created a blog to highlight my experiences as a Peace Corps Response Volunteer in the Ukrainian city of Zhytomyr. After ten years as an ESL teacher in the New York City school system I decided to take a leave of absence and return to Ukraine. I was a two year education volunteer in the Ukrainian city of Donetsk from 1996-1998 (Group Six). I wasn’t sure if I ever wanted to return but the pull became too great especially after the Orange Revolution in November 2004 and then the war in the East and the Euromaidan in 2014. I hope this blog will open people’s eyes to the importance of this great country as well as just learn a bit about a new culture. As per my usual preference, I will not be engaging in political discussions of any kind.
