Araby served in Peace Corps Bolivia from 1995-1997, supporting rural sanitation projects while stationed in the village of Buena Vista in the State Department of Santa Cruz. During the episode, we discussed a wide variety of things while reflecting on the isolation we experienced as Peace Corps Volunteers, and how we were able to deal with it and ultimately develop internal strength through reading, writing, and overcoming fears.
