Kruhai (Hello) from the Philippines! I’m Erika, and I serve as an Environmental Peace Corps Volunteer. Join me as I support coastal resource management. Dali ron – let’s go!

Logbooks

This week in the Philippines was among my busiest yet. Read more to learn about my travels to a nearby waterfall with friends, Iloilo City for an eye clinic and back home for my community fiesta!

Journals

Can you believe our Reach the World journey is already at a close? Salamat gid (thank you so much) for learning about the Philippines with me. Read on to hear more about the U.S. Peace Corps!

Field Notes

The Philippines is home to over 7,000 islands, making for very rich social, religious and cultural traditions. Every year, community members celebrate this diversity at fiestas, or local festivals!

Albums

It is great to have some fast food options in my town! Although there are not any McDonald's or Jollibees (a Filipino favorite), I love stopping by some of these manamit (delicious) restaurants!
