It’s time to go
My 3 months is over and I'm going out in style.
Farewell party at the orphanage
Party hats, roti pizza and party games ensured my last Saturday at the orphanage was celebrated in fine style.
Gai Jatra: Bhaktapur’s Cow Festival
It was the first day of the dark fortnight of Gunla, and every family who lost a relative this year is leading a cow through the streets of Bhaktapur.
Patan Zoo
A visit to the zoo seemed to be the only way I could see a one-horned rhino and a bengal tiger while in Nepal.
From Kathmandu to Pokhara and back
Travelling the Prithvi highway from Kathmandu to Pokhara took us to Manakamana temple, Gorkha fort and Siddha's Cave.
Volunteering in Nepal
Volunteering at schools and orphanages in Nepal was incredible—giving back to the community made the trip truly unforgettable.
Patan and the history of the Kathmandu Valley
A guided tour of Patan Durbar Square taught me a lot more about religion in Nepal.
Kopan Monastery
The peaceful, calming influence of the Kopan Monastery and the arrival of Taryn.
Chitwan National Park
My 24th birthday is spent dancing with Nepalis, bathing with elephants and rafting on rapids.
First impressions of Nepal
My first impressions of Nepal shift from hatrid to love in the first two days with a trip to the local street market.
