I had a good friend in the Peace Corps, Dorothy Hamilton, who joined the Peace Corps after retiring from teaching in Oakland. Dorothy was 72! She was an African-American, and served her entire two year term, which not everyone is able to do. She had raised one son, who became a Postmaster, so I guess she felt free to try an adventure. This was in 1982.
@Barrikoi1 I knew an older woman who joined to get away from her husband. She was Catholic and couldn’t divorce him, so she joined. I just looked to see that it’s being reconstituted post Trump. I might just go have an adventure in a few years. @alyaza
I understand once you’ve learned two languages the third is much easier, so you’d be in a good situation even if you didn’t go to a Spanish speaking country. 👍
@Barrikoi1 I wish I’d had a stint in the Peace Corps. The world is a fascinating place.
