Climbing in Krabi





Can someone please explain to me what exactly this woman is thinking? I think I'm more disturbed by the fact that she is wearing socks on the beach.



Lucky me. I was in town for Krabi's annual rockclimbing competition .

The Andaman-Does the Soul Good



More to say about that in the near future as well as Everest Base Camp...loads of leisure time is now on my side. I'll also try to fix my Base Camp pictures this week, not really sure what happened to the pixels on all of them but they are looking rather distorted. Blessings!

April 13 17, 500 feet. We figured that we would celebrate the Nepali New Year a little outlandishly and hit up Everest Base Camp for a little bit of altitude and anoxia.

With Love from Nepal



Hanging out with Sabrina from Switzerland and Evie from Scotland--two other volunteers who spent some time in Chapagaon working at a local orphanage.

Life is pretty great right now. :)


Samyak celebrated his 10th birthday with a whole bunch of foreigners. Judging by the abnormally crazed expressions on each of our faces....poor kid. Matrika (on the far left) and Michelle (on the far right) are fourth year medical students from Australia who just arrived in Chapagaon on Wednesday.
