Randall and Joshua first joined forces in 1998 as editors of Peace Corps Nicaragua's quarterly publication, ¡Va Pué!, which they helped transform from a 17-page administrative newsletter into a 70-page volunteer magazine. After completing their Peace Corps tour in 2000, they wrote Moon Handbooks Nicaragua, the guidebook they wish they'd had when they first landed in the country. A few years later, they wrote Moon Living Abroad In Nicaragua, drawing from their frontline experience and a vast network of amigos and colleagues throughout Nicaragua.
