Kathmandu… some people love it, some people hate it. As for me, I simply adored it all. If you look beyond the pollution, the stink, the trash piles, the agressive traffic, the incessant honking, the homeless or drug-addicted child beggars, the rickshaw drivers chanting “rickshaw, rickshaw,” getting ripped-off, the feeling of danger lurking in the alleys, the power outages, the Maoist strike...

Life is good! I've fallen into a cycle of working and traveling.. I'm now in South America. I'm going to wander until my money runs out, and my plans keep changing every 5 minutes so there's no point of posting my itinerary on here anymore. Join me in my travels by adding your details to the 'subscribe' button below! “Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things, literature, music—-the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people.

Kumari DeviKumari Devi
Kumari Devi
She is the living goddess, selected from a caste of silver/goldsmiths, after fulfilling 32 criterias, including the sound of her voice. During the prelimary round of selecting a goddess, the potential goddesses are kept overnight in a room with 108 buffalo heads, with scary, masked men shouting and dancing. If she can stand that w/o being frightened, then she is the new Kumari. Once she reaches puberty, aka period, she is no longer a goddess, but a mere mortal. Interesting~ eh?

I'm jealous and inspired by your freedom and excitement. You are really soaking it up and glad to hear you were a fan of Kathmandu...you will probably fall in love with the rest of Nepal, especially the greener sides where you plan to hanglide. I'll be along for your ride in spirit...keep us posted on your intriguing world and stay safe!
