Obligatory Personal Information
- Porter
- Bloomington-Normal, Illinois, United States
- This is a pretty much just a journal. I started it in late summer 2009 as I prepared to move to Micronesia. It follows my path from Peace Corps to finishing grad school, thru two farming gigs and onto my first fancy-pants, professional job. It's nothing new, but here's my story--this Porter travels on.

Thanks Porter for these pictures! Really took me back to the high school years in Woleai! I am currently writing my capstone paper which will be a Historiography paper on the Peace Corp. Volunteers in Micronesia! I was randomly going through the internet and came upon your blog. Thank you for sharing!
