Just weeks after graduating from Knox College in June of 2009, Luke Karner embarked on one of the biggest adventures of his life: doing the Peace Corps in Honduras.

Except…the day Luke was about to leave, the exact DAY, there was a change of power in Honduras (aka military Coup) and Luke had to go to another country.  Oh well, you know what they say about the Peace Corps: Flexibility is key!  Hear all about it in this episode of the Recovering Expat Podcast.

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

• What happens when a military coups takes in your country of Peace Corps service the day before you leave
• Luke’s ONE key to learning languages, above all else
• What kind of projects Luke did
• Luke’s crazy Snake Story

•  Why the NSA shouldn’t listen to this Podcast (that’s just a little inside joke;))
