Join Peace Corps volunteer Jim in Armenia for a candid story of testing positive for Covid while abroad. When Jim started feeling sick at school, he isolated immediately to avoid spreading Covid to his vulnerable host family and tight-knit community.
In this episode, listen as Jim shares his challenging but thoughtful experience navigating isolation, health monitoring, food delivery mishaps, and more while Covid positive in Armenia. With plenty of humor despite the struggles, Jim reflects on how sacrifice is sometimes required to keep host families safe when living abroad.
Whether you’re a prospective Peace Corps volunteer, traveler, or just love a good fish-out-of-water story, Jim’s tale of managing Covid far from home will resonate. Grab some pizza delivery in solidarity and press play to virtually accompany Jim on this unexpected chapter of his Peace Corps journey.
