Hello everyone, Its been a while since my last update but its been pretty busy and this has been my first free minute to get to a computer. Anyway, I am now in Kunming, China having left Nepal on the 7th March. I had my farewell at the orphanage on the 5th which was really nice, basically all the kids gather to wish you well and give you some flowers, gifts and a certificate. I had bought a whole load of chocolates for them so that also went down well as you can...

Hello all, Got back from the trek yesterday evening and was pretty tired, but not too tired to head to a bar for a Long Island Iced Tea or 6! Anyway, we left on the 5th February to head down to Chitwan for white water rafting and a safari. The rafting was amazing and I've already decided to do it again either in Nepal or another country.

Needless to say my Ipod was my rock of sanity and some songs that sum up my journey are: Alive by Pearl Jam I Think I'm Going To Die by My Morning Jacket, and Say Hello To Heaven by Temple of the Dog So yeah, we actually drove past a full head on crash on the way and lets say that it looked pretty bad. So currently deliberating paying th...

Namaste! So things have been going good here in Kathmandu. I will be off to Pokhara early next week to start my orphanage work. I'll be volunteering in Namaste House where they have 65 kids... so it should be pretty hectic but fun too. I'll be sleeping in a guesthouse rather than a homestay or in the orphanage, so I dont know what it will be like but probably similar to where I have been staying at the moment. So far I have managed to stay healthy, my throat has...
