My girlfriend just left for Madagascar with the Peace Corps only a few weeks ago, and reading your story, as well as the comments and other stories are really wonderful to read. I'm fully aware of the challenge that lies ahead of my relationship, but it's really great to know that it has been done before, and can work in some cases. But it's wonderful to read your posts and know that the things I am feeling are felt by others, and that I am not the only one going through this. Thanks for putting some things in perspective and giving me great things to think about! Love is a strong, odd, and amazing thing! Good luck with whatever you're doing now! And thank you again!

My boyfriend and I started dating over a year ago. From the start, he was very upfront and honest about his interest in PC and about a month ago, we FINALLY got word of his acceptance and assignment to the Dominican! I am filled with so many great emotions - but also some negative ones, which I believe is totally normal. I have a couple questions for you - how did you kick the blues when you were out of contact for long periods of time? What did you do to calm your mind and thoughts, particularly about his safety. Maybe even fidelity. I've no reason to doubt him, but I wonder if that mind will ever cross my mind. Also, how often is acceptable to visit your PCV? Since my boyfriend will be in the Dominican, I can picture lots of short, one week trips. How much is too much? How long is too long? Also, I started my own blog as well and plan on quoting you quite a bit. You put so many things into perspective for me and have really gotten me to shape my mind about being in a LDR with a PCV, not just someone who lives on the opposite US coast. Wishing you all the best!! First of all, I have to tell you that I come to this page at least twice a month to read random entries. My boyfriend and I started dating over a year ago.

My boyfriend and I are experiencing a long distance relationship. I'm 15 hes 17... He's graduating this year and I'm graduating in 2 years. I live in British Columbia and he lives in Ontario. It's so hard being away from him, not being able to see him everyday. I'm wondering how do you do it? How do you keep going on with your everyday life? I find my self sitting in class and just going into my own little world and thinking about him. I can't tell you how much it's doing to me emotionally but in the end I know it will make our relationship stronger. Do you guys ever get to talk or only once in a while? How long have you two been apart? I've been away from my boyfriend for about 2 months now. I sometimes feel alone and worried he might do something. But I do trust him. Do you ever feel that way? I'm guessing I need to talk to somebody who is kinda going through what I'm going through. Any advice you can give me on long distance relationships, please tell me I'd like to hear and read about it Thanks :) Hey!

The people were wonderful, and the food delicious--a couple more reasons for you to go and visit frequently. ;) We had a chance to visit Ethiopia for a few days and loved our time there!

Congrats on making it this far--hang in there and visit often. We also had a chance to visit Ethiopia on one of my trips to Kenya, and honestly I loved Ethiopia. It was less touristy than Kenya. Glad you had a good visit! Carly, loved seeing your pics and both your blogs! Congrats on making it this far–hang in there and visit often.

My boyfriend lives in Ethiopia and he's been in the Corps for a little over 10 months now. It's been really hard to have people to relate to, but your blog makes me even more certain we will be fine and make it through :) His blog is www.waidsworld.wordpress.com if you ever feel like checking it out -- he's a great writer! I'm glad that you and your boyfriend are making the next step -- it gives me something to look forward to :) Thanks again! Wow! I was SO happy to stumble across this post.

If you have any questions, just post them in comments and I will try my best to answer. :) Small tip, I would recommend visiting for the first time in September-October if you can, it's a little bit cooler. The first time I went was in April/May and the temperature was super hot. However, it also depends where your bf is placed. The coast can be hotter. Much luck!!
