An Endless Supply of Peace Corps Blogs
0407-April-q75-500x402.jpg While studying up for my interview with novelist and returned Peace Corps volunteer John Coyne, I discovered that you could spend the rest of your life reading Peace Corps blog posts and never finish. 

The whole experience is perfect for blogging: lots of down-time, amazing settings, and a long-distance relationship with your normal community.  People are still figuring out how to archive all the material.

Peace Corps Online has a sprawling (slightly confusing) collection of links to hundreds of blogs in any country you can imagine.  I recommend visiting Bob Horowitz's Madagascar blog or Shannon's Coral Pink Sands in Namibia blog.  Both have concluded service, but you can read their whole two-year-long story...

PeaceCorpsBlogs.com
has a slightly better interface, allowing readers to search by blog posts (tagged by country), rather than sifting through a long list of individual blogs.  For example, check out the Kenya tag to read over 60 posts by volunteers working in that country.
