About me

Gender Female
Location Guinea
Introduction I'm teaching English with the Peace Corps in Guinea for the next 2 years. At some point I'll find a career. Just not yet. If you want to get in touch, my address is: Jen Daum / Corps de la Paix / BP 1927 / Conakry, Guinea / West Africa / I've been told that writing "educational materials," "feminine hygiene products," and/or "religious materials" gets packages through customs faster. And red pen - Guineans are superstitious about it. Oh, and this blog is my opinion only. It is not sanctioned by the Peace Corps, the United States Government, my law firm, or by anyone in Guinea. It's just for my thoughts and experiences.
Interests Travel, dancing, good restaurants, reading, netflix, international politics and development issues (nerdy, yes, I know)
Favorite Movies Gladiator, Walk the Line, Happy Gilmore, Brokeback Mountain, Two Weeks Notice (it's a bad romantic comedy with Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant...but I love it)
Favorite Music I have terrible taste in music and generally listen to what my friends tell me is good. I love dance parties above all else. And Mariah.
Favorite Books The Giver, US Weekly (does that count??!!), all Harry Potter books, Lucia Lucia, The Dogs of Babel, anything by Jodi Picoult, Life of Pi, Dark Star Safari, The End of Poverty by Jeffrey Sachs
