Peace Corps Cribs - Dominican Republic (2013)

Ever wonder what living situations are like in the Peace Corps? Now you know thanks to Returned Peace Corps Volunteer Ryan Browning and the shaky camera skills of his Dominican godson, Yordy. (2013)

I think one of the reasons why I have decided to follow through with peace corps is due to the fact that you (like many other volunteers) still have a smile on your face, despite the living conditions. You genuinely seem happy, and that stands out to me most. Thanks for giving me motivation!

This is the best Peace Corps Cribs I have seen. Kudos on an awesome video.

Dude..it's amazing!. Never in my entire life i'd imagine an american experiencing the beautiful culture of the "campos" of my country. Glad you enjoyed using the "letrina" that your fellow countrymen brought during the 1920's, if i'm not mistaken. And i hope you come back with your friends and let them experience life in the DR outside of Punta Cana.

I have watched this many times. It is very funny, revealing, and honest. It really psyches me up to join PC. Thanks!

Hey man, I'm leaving for the Dominican Republic in like a month with Peace Corps to teach English and this video just energizes me. I'm a thousand times more excited to go now. If possible I'd love to talk to you about your experience somehow.

This video was just what I needed as I plan my application for Peace Corps. Thank you so much for inviting us into your home. I inboxed you with a message hoping to receive more information about your position and experience. Happy New Year

Nice diggs. Im RPCV DR , ,.



1985. It's amazing how you can make yourself comfortable with just a little ingenuity. Brings back memories. In 1986 PCDR had our Better Shacks and Gardens Issue. I found out the word for aspestos when I asked what the roof was made of. Tarantulas? The first time reached up to my top shelf in the dark I thought, " I didn't know there were 8 legged squirrels....furry....rats in the beams above me looking down. I enjoyed my work and time there. I lived in NYC in the 1990's. I had Dominicans stop me and say I know you. You did this for our barrio, thank you. All I needed.

Awesome video. These are the kinds of experiences that I like to call the juice of life. And shorty at 8:15 definitely would've been over cada noche for tutoring lessons
