i believe you can pick the region where you wanna go, but not the exact country.

From what I understand, you can talk about it with your Peace Corps advisor (or whatever they're called) and see if you can work something out... but generally you're toast if you decline an invitation. As long as you specify on your app where you don't want to go, you should be fine. If you indicate that you definitely don't want to serve in Africa, they aren't going to invite you to work in Benin or whatever. |
