The Journey of a Peace Corps Volunteer in Botswana

Contact Me!

There are a few good ways to get a hold of me.  Being in Botswana, I LOVE to get mail. Packages, postcards, letters, whatever.  The best way to mail stuff is through the United States Postal Service.   So far I've had lots of luck - I think all the packages have reached me thus far.

Mail me stuff:

Getting mail is always exciting.  However, if you decide to mail me a package please let me know so I can keep my eye out for it.

Call me:

My phone number is 75014202.  The country code is 267 and you have to dial 011 first.  So it goes....011+267+75014202.

Sorry I really can't call many people...it is SUPER expensive to call you guys (especially on my volunteer budget).  But I get free incoming calls.  You can buy calling cards online...I know speedypin.com is one recommended site, skype also works really well.

 I would love to hear from you but remember that I am 8 hours ahead of central time.

My Mom is Pretty Cool Too!

I mention this for a few reasons.  1) She is pretty rad.  2) Mailing stuff (beyond cards) can be a bit pricey...lets say you just want to send a little something...you can probably throw it in with my mom's box.  (She's my mom - She's been good about sending stuff...) Her name is Pam and you can contact her at crumplerp@yahoo.com.
