This morning the Peace Corps called and I'm officially invited to Ghana, West Africa.
I depart September 15 and I'm so excited. I plan to continue assisting with hurricane recovery at Volunteer's of America through August.
After nearly a year of trudging through the application process and learning so much about myself, my dream to travel and be of service has only increased.
I look forward to spending time with as many people as I can before I go. I'm definitely ready to embark, I've rented my home and given away everything that I don't really love. I have felt more freedom than ever before in my entire life. Thanks everyone for being so supportive.

Erica,
I'm so happy and proud of you, you are a bigger inspiration than you know and I know you will do a lot of good in Africa.
Please be careful and come home safe.
