alluring. foul. overwhelming. powerful.
However, I like to describe Nepal (particularly Thamel) as,
beautifully chaotic.
No matter what word comes to my mind,
Nepal shook me to my core,
and, has left me a changed person.
More than anything, and most ironically, Nepal has left me wanting more.
Kathmandu:
people, cars, bikes, cows, sewage, motorcycles, dogs, trash, and more trash…
The moment you enter kathmandu,
you step foot into a different world.
Every sense,
sight. smell. taste. touch. hearing.
are all turned on.
It doesn’t matter how hard you fight it,
there is no escaping the maddness that makes Kathmandu so unlike any other place I have ever visited.
Nepal was the first real third world country I had ever visited.
It is world so different from the sanitary, bright and shiny bubble I have been lucky enough to call home-
a home I will never take for granted again…
Here starts my journey through Nepal, Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia and Indonesia,
with my travel buddy,
my fiance.
Without this man, I never would have seen this part of the world.
I never would have known such beautiful chaos exists…
Your pictures make Nepal look amazing! It has seriously been number one on my list of places to travel for a couple of years now – it's my dream to climb to base camp!

What a fascinating place. I have been to Lhasa, Tibet…I wonder if it's very similar?
As usual, these pictures are so great! I definitely have Nepal on my to-visit list.
Ah! This is the series that I have been waiting for! Everything looks awesome so far.
Your pictures are amazing and beautiful. I've never experienced anything like Nepal. You're so lucky to be able to have such a great adventure with so many memories. I can't imagine what an eye opening experience it must have been!
Kathmandu is one of my favorite cities on earth. I have so many good memories of my trips there. Enjoy every moment! If you are still there drop in to the Courtyard Hotel and tell Michelle and Pujan hello for me and get them to tell you where to set up a dinner at Thamel house for you – amazing!
