Travel News

How far did I travel this week?:

The travel time it takes me to get to Dili from Baucau is 3 hours on the local bus. The bus is $10 for a round trip from Baucau to Dili. 

How far have I traveled on this journey so far?:

The furthest I've traveled was to Bali last year for my birthday with a couple of volunteers. Bali is a 1hr and 21min flight from Timor. We had a great time in Bali--in fact, so great of a time that I lost my passport and debit card. Luckily, I was able to get those things replaced! 

How did I get around this week?:

To get around my community, I mostly just walk because my house is only 8 minutes by foot from my job.

What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

I haven't visited any interesting places this week because my work schedule keeps me pretty busy. I am working on a community economic development project that involves rice fiber. However, in the past I was able to travel to Vennilale to visit other volunteers as well as a waterfall and hot springs!

Other Travel News from this week:

The volunteers are planning a karaoke party in Dili for one of the volunteers' birthday next month! There's no party like a Peace Corps volunteer party!
