From Application to Invitation to Training to Service to Readjustment
How quickly the time passed

My blog is intentionally designed to be light-weight (as some would say ugly).
akia-blog was supposed to stand for AK In Africa. Luckily, this can be easily adjusted to AK In America, Asia, Australia, Antarctica, etc. This blog will continue to be updated even though I have returned to America. I will be covering topics such as the life cycle and style of a PCV (from PST to Swear-IN to IST to MSC to COS to really COS'ing to readjustment), Burkina Faso and Africa.
