Traveler Bio

Sain uu? (Hello)! My name is Kristen. Growing up near Chicago, a city full of so many cultures, inspired me to go out, explore, and learn about new cultures, which sparked my love for traveling. I deeply believe in the power of service to create positive change and personal growth, values that led me to join the Peace Corps.

Right now, I’m living in Mongolia, where I teach English and work on projects that help local communities grow their economies. I love meeting new people and learning about their culture, and I’m really excited to share my adventures here in Mongolia with you all!

Peace Corps Volunteers like me live and work side by side with community members around the world, collaborating on locally prioritized projects, building relationships, exchanging cultures and knowledge, and helping transform lives for generations. Learn more by clicking here.
