Kyle’s Journey in Armenia

Just Another Peace Corps Blog

  • Kyle? In Armenia?

    My name is Kyle, and I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Noyemberyan, Armenia. I lived here from 2006-2008, and worked as an Information Technology volunteer for the US Peace Corps. In addition to my primary assignment developing my region's WiFi internet, I also taught computer and English classes to area youth. Thank you for visiting!

Training is finally over, and I have the illustrious certificate that officially makes me a Peace Corps volunteer: The last week in Bazum was actually pretty crazy.

I’m officially a Peace Corps Volunteer. That’s a relief – now I can get to work and start saving the world, without the luxery of diversity lessons and “English” speakers. Oh well. I just wanted everyone to know that I made it to site safe, survived Yerevan (somehow – they have Jaeger there!) and that […]
