Mailing Instructions

A few people have expressed interest in sending me a care package but didn't know what to send or where to send it. If you happen to be one of those interested people, please read the following:

1. Please do not send expensive stuff. I haven't personally had anything stolen (or for that matter opened) but other PCV's have

2. It takes roughly 1 month for anything to get to me so keep in mind that anything you send will not only be dealing with altitude but it will have to sustain many days sitting in a post office.

3. Get insurance. It won't get the items back to you or to me any quicker but if it goes awry you at least have it covered.
