Hi! My name is Taylor Valencia and I am a civil engineer from Stafford, Virginia who will be serving as a Youth in Development Peace Corps volunteer in Thailand beginning in January 2015. I am not fluent in Thai and I’ve never even traveled to Asia but with a positive mindset I am excited to serve as a Peace Corps volunteer 8,826 miles away from my home; a journey I will document through this blog. As a reader, you can expect to read my triumphs, embarrassing moments, and trials as I assimilate to a new culture. Who knows maybe you’ll even be persuaded to become a Peace Corps volunteer too 🙂

Taylor,
You are certainly making Dad and I learn all about “blogging”. I think I can get used to this form of social media. We miss having you home already and you just left this morning!
Love You!
