I’ve not blogged on here for a while. Since getting back from Nepal things have been really busy – and I’ve had a bit of writers block. But I’ve been constantly reflecting on my time in Nepal, those I met and what I’ve learned/ am learning from it all.
This last weekend was a really exciting [...]
Well, we’ve been home for over a week now. i’ve deliberatley not written anything on here. I’ve been focusing on sorting my photos, seeing friends and family, spending time with Linda and getting used to being back in the UK. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about my experiences in Nepal though. About the [...]
Sorry if yesterdays post didn’t make much sense, it was quite sparse on details I know – I was rather tired when typing it!
Anyway, we’re now at Kathmandu airport – waiting to board out first flight to Doha. The last 2 weeks have been awesome, the places we’ve seen, the people we’ve met, the things [...]
Wow, today has been pretty awesome, for the most part. Joanna and John haven’t been feeling well, neither has Jonny. Jonny and John are perking up, but Joanna is still feeling a bit unwell – so she’s popped off to see the resident conference doctor to see what advice she can get.

We left Kathmandu at 12noon today, and arrived in Pokhara, 200km away, 7 hours later!

This morning, Chuli, Suzi and myself got up at 5am to watch the sunrise. It was beautiful. I feel very blessed to have had the chance to watch the sunrise over the Himalayas. We aren’t in the heart of the range, so the mountains around us are ‘only’ topping out around 2000/2500 meters!
So today was an interesting day.
We stayed up fairly late last night chatting and getting to know one another. we all then woke up far too early!
Our first port of call today was the offices of CMN. CMN is an organisation working for and with the people of Nepal addressing the root causes of poverty [...]
