Katy Moran
NEW!
My name is Katy Moran, I'm 23 and a recent University of Nebraska-Lincoln graduate with a Bachelors in Advertising. Instead of applying to jobs to do the daily grind at my ripe age, I decided to truly test myself by joining the Peace Corps. My assignment is to teach English to the people of Rwanda, Africa. I'm leaving October 6th, and I'm very excited! As far as my background or experience goes, I traveled five different weeks during my college years to volunteer for cleanup after Hurricane Katrina. For my dedication of service, I received the Spirit of Service award through the UNL Student Impact Awards. This was actually the core motivation to join the Peace Corps.

Granny is always willing to pass on a tip or two from her experience. She says her home (sometimes) runs smoothly due to organized chaos, and lots of lists!

in
Mexico

After 17 years spent growing up in Grand Island, Nebraska, I knew there was more to Mexican food than what Amigos had to offer. This blog will chart my experiences as an Embassy spouse, a Thunderbird Global MBA student, an expat woman, a Mexican culinary novice, a gringa. Wish me luck, or as the case may be, buena suerte.
