I just hope I don’t forget anything that I wanted to share with you all!! Thursday morning worship was led by the group from Sri Lanka – it was awesome! It was a very charismatic. They didn’t [...]

I have had the most awesome day! One of those days that makes you glad to be alive!
We left Kathmandu at 12noon today, and arrived in Pokhara, 200km away, 7 hours later!
The journey to get here is fantastic! surrounded by mountains, lakes, villages, rice fields, so many amazing sights I still can’t compute them all!
For [...]

Today was an interesting day. I’ve spent most of the day holed up in my bedroom trying to drink and sleep enough to feel better – it wasn’t the most pleasant night I’ve ever had! I’ll be making an effort to avoid Buffalo Momo in the future – although I’ll still be having vegetable Momo!!! [...]

Today has been a fascinating day, a fun day, a busy day, [...]

Well, we’ve arrived safe and sound! Was a very long journey to get here, took me 28 hours and even Chuli who had the shortest journey was over 18 hours! Doha was an interesting airport – we arrived there at 5.40am and it was already 32 Celsius outside, that was a shock!
First impressions of Nepal [...]

So, if you’re my friend on facebook or follow me on twitter you may have noticed my excitement on Friday. The reason for this is that I have been chosen to represent the Church of Scotland at a SACYN (South Asia Christian Youth Network) conference in Nepal. The conference is called “Cross the Bridge” [...]

Well, it’s a few days in, but it’s still early enough for me to wish you all a happy new year!
Traditionally, this is the time of year that people reflect on the year just passed and the year ahead. Who am I to break with tradition? I thought I’d start with looking forward first, reflecting [...]
