Once upon a time, there was a girl named Katrina who decided that she wanted to save the environmental world. She joined the Peace Corps, flew to the Philippines, and landed on the white sand beach of Himokilan Isla in her best work attire: $1 sandals purchased at the local market, nouveau-hippie shorts from REI, and a T-shirt boasting the words "I'm proud to be a little American" written in Chinese characters. She quickly learned the world wasn't hers to save, but she writes her adventures anyway and hopes that she can bring her friends and family just a little bit closer to the place she now calls home.

About Me
- Katrina
- In April of 2005 I moved to the Hottest Country on Earth to volunteer as an environmental educator. I traveled at times for hours to find an internet cafe, where I started this blog as a means to inform my family and friends back home that I hadn't died. Now I'm back home in America, but my blog continues because I still live in the middle of nowhere, I still have limited means of communication, I still hope to keep in touch with my friends and family, and I still like to take frequent breaks from work.
