I passed a pleasant week in Pokhara after the meditation course with three of the other travelers I met there, paragliding over the lake, boating on the lake, hiking to the peace Pogoda and eating way too much good food! Then she stole my water! This entry was posted in Uncategorized. Om mani padme hum. Return to Chitwan, the goat massacre, goodbye Nepal!

Just another WordPress.com site. In December 2010 I quit my job in publishing, rented out my flat and in the new year left London. I booked a one-way ticket to Kathmandu – pretty drastic you might say but after six years living and working in the city I felt I needed a complete change, much as I do love London! I have been travelling before in 2003-4 but this time I felt I would get more out of the experience if I got to live in a community within a culture totally different to my own. India Part III....

Just another WordPress.com site. Maria in India Part II. North India: Shimla & Manali →. June 12, 2011. The journey from Mumbai to Goa was due to take 10 hours, and I was dreading the prospect after having seen a news report about an Indian athlete who only the week before had been thrown off a train and lost her leg, after a thief tried to steal her chain and she’d resisted! So I spent a very chilled six nights there, the only negative being that I was surrounded by couples and families! Palolem turned ...
