Nepal: From Kathmandu to Gorkha

Who am I...?

An ex-journo and former techno phobe from Singapore living in Tokyo, I worked in print media for six years until I moved countries in 2006 and used the Internet as a way to have a viable, mobile career. Now, I'm a blogger on the go who runs an online beauty biz from wherever I might be. I never thought I would ever morph into a web chick - but here I am.

This blog is about...

...The ups and downs of expat life, trailing partner issues, food, travel, and Japanese culture. It's a way to keep in touch with friends back home and all over the world, plus it's a corner for me to showcase my work. But really, I'm just a restless spirit looking for great adventures and fabulous food.

Nepal: From Kathmandu to Gorkha

We were racing downhill for 140km towards Maoist trading town, Gorkha. The boys arrived five days before I did and fell ill (due to Herculean day trips out of Kathmandu and the awful pollution) so they slept for two days. . It was exhausting but it was a great first day — we were full of energy and ready for our Big Trip Out.
