"Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” --H. Thurman

My name is Karina.
I grew up in the beautiful Pacific Northwest of the United States.
I've had the luck of traveling far, wide, and often - to Zimbabwe, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Bosnia, Holland, Mozambique plus a few others.
I am passionate about human rights, education, equitable development work, and public health.
So, here I am. A Peace Corps Volunteer serving as a teacher in Mozambique.
It's hot, sweaty, frustrating, thrilling, and unbelievably life-changing.
Bucket baths. A straw hut for a house. No electricity. Celeb status with the village kids.
Welcome to the Peace Corps dream!
(Here's a little interview I did in 2012 for my university)
