A little bit of my life in Cameroon
Cameroon is one of the few places where Peace Corps volunteers are still allowed to ride motorcycles because that is the primary form of transportation in Cameroon. This is me pictured carrying my breakfast in my helmet to go to training!
Here you will find my office in the hospital I worked at in Mvengue.
One of the best drinks you will ever have!
Pictured here is my Cameroonian family and I. My host mom was teaching me how to make palm oil!
This is my puppy, Beinget! Many Peace Corps Volunteers in Cameroon got dogs and cats.
