Why this Detroit Native Joined the Peace Corps and Retired in Madagascar

In episode 35, I interviewed Lisa Lee. Lisa is a 64-year-old, twice divorced, retired computer nerd with two grown children (David and Dawn). Both of her kids live in Oakland, CA, a city where she lived for over 30 years before joining the Peace Corps in 2017. Originally from Detroit, Lisa was also a professional genealogist for many years and started a successful website, www.GotGenealogy.com, where she taught family historians of all levels how to maximize their searches utilizing online resources. Lisa joined the Peace Corps when she was 60, which was her way of doing an early retirement. Peace Corps taught her how to teach English, and during the process, Lisa discovered just how much she loved teaching. Though she intended to retire in Madagascar, she’s now teaching at an elementary school, and at the University of Mahajanga.
