Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages. I’ll definitely make another purchase soon! Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!

A Peace Corps Classic
As an RPVC who served at about the same time as Moritz Thomsen and in another South American country, my smiles and chuckles started at the beginning with his description of our training, which I was convinced at the time had been designed by a sadist. His account of his early experiences speaking Spanish brought back memories of some of my early and embarrassing faux pas. And my eventual mastery of the language which came as a result of working with my wonderful people. Although the work I was doing was quite different as an urban community development volunteer, the theme of our experiences was remarkably similar. The author beautifully conveys the power of the remarkable experience we all had. And which remains with us throughout our adult lives. I highly recommend this book to ...

I highly recommend this book to anyone who served overseas, as well as to those who wonder what Peace Corps life is like.

I overlapped Moritz Thomsen’s two year stint with the Peace Corps in Ecuador. This book brings back so many memories of the good, bad, happy and sad of living and working in the Third World to try and make an impact, for the better, in people’s lives.

Brand new, mint condition book. Perfection, as I am gifting to a fellow Peace Corps colleague. Worth the read, it's quite a story. Thank you.
