I wanted to write my last post about Nepal and summarise my experience there, but I couldn’t. All the beautiful memories are circulating in my head and none of them seem to be less worth mentioning. I think with my all my previous posts I managed to paint a decent picture of the country, people … More See you again, Nepal
Nepal never really associated to me with elephants, rhinos, crocodiles but I got to see them all there! The south of the country is very different from the north and that was completely unexpected to me (you can even get malaria there!). A bus ride to Chitwan National park from Kathmandu was one of the … More Chitwan National Park
I would had liked to see Bhaktapur before the earthquake hit Nepal in 2015. It’s an ancient city, full of beautiful historical buildings, temples, art and colours. However, my previously mentioned earthquake had a tremendous impact on this magical place and when visited it in summer 2016 the damage could still be clearly seen. I … More Bhaktapur
No this post is not about the Eagles song. It’s about the 10th highest bungee jump in the world. Can you guess where this place is? OK, I will tell you, it’s in Nepal! It is located near the Tibetan border, around three hour drive from Kathmandu. I hope I won’t spoil everything by saying … More The Last Resort
Kathmandu is a hot mess. A beautiful chaotic place full of unexpected things. I loved it some days and other days I just wanted to be out of there. I spent quite a bit of time exploring the city while I was doing some volunteering in Kavresthali near Kathmandu. Everytime I would go back to … More Kathmandu
After spending a few weeks in Kathmandu, arriving to Pokhara was almost a dream. A few people warned me that once I go there, I will never want to come back. They were right. Getting from Kathmandu to Pokhara is one of those nightmare (ish) bus journeys in Nepal, taking several hours, the duration is … More Pokhara, Happy Village and Sarangkot
When I am thinking about my time at Kavresthali (beautiful village just outside Kathmandu), the one thing that I always remember is the roof of the house where I stayed. You are probably thinking why it is so important, it is only the regular roof right? During my time there it became the place for … More Fireflies, Rice Planting and Nepali Dances
I know you haven’t heard from me for a while, but I really don’t like writing when I am traveling. I feel like if I’m spending time writing, I’m missing out on something else. I like writing when the trip is already over; the excitement has settled down and I can enjoy reflecting on my … More Volunteering in Nepal
I’m leaving in 4 days. It sounds absolutely unreal and the trip that I have been waiting for so long is finally happening. Yes, I’m finally going to Nepal! In November 2014, I applied to do some volunteering there. I was supposed to start in summer 2015, however a lot happened between November and June and … More Last Days of Spring
