As part of our ongoing interview with the novelist and former Peace Corps volunteer John Coyne, I have a few world-traveling bloggers for your reading pleasure.It doesn't matter if you are working in a Guatemalan village or sitting in an office building in New York City--a good Peace Corps writer can help you escape the everyday grind. With the web, they are building a community for writers and travelers around the world.
When volunteers come home, Peace Corps constantly reminds them they need to share their stories with other people.
The Third Goal blog is an ambitious, webby attempt to fulfill that function--providing a free, anonymous forum (and translation into 11 languages) for Peace Corps writers, from the Americas to Africa.
Over at Mister Sugar, Anton Zuiker muses on his Peace Corps experiences in the South Pacific. On this blog, Zuiker explores the potential of social networking and blogging, while creating a platform for his own writings.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. If you want to include your travel writing or Peace Corps site in my growing collection, just drop me a line in the comments section...
