I’m not really in the business of selling you on joining the Peace Corps, even though it was so great for my wife and me as you’ll see in A Breeze in Bulgaria. Still, the question arises, why do people do that? 

There are plenty of reasons, but I came across an article that really caught my attention. In the indie travel guide BootsnAll, Jill Nawrocki draws upon her experience in Namibia to tell you “Five Reasons Not to Join the Peace Corps.” It’s a terrific read.
