I'm an English woman living in the Swiss Alps and I'm passionate about travel. I love Nepal but also love every place I go. Due to my job, which is seasonal work, I get to travel extensively every autumn. In the past 10 years I've trekked in the Atlas mountains with Berbers twice, I've travelled around Tunisia extensively, I've been to Egypt several times and while there trekked around the Sinai with Beduins and two years ago backpacked around Thailand and Laos for 5 weeks. I manage to go back to Nepal about every two years and last year finally went to India. I spent a month there travelling around Rajasthan, Agra and Uttar Pradesh and will definately go back. This autumn I'm off to Vietnam and Cambodia for 6 weeks.

While in India last year I made a lot of decisions about my life and have given myself a new goal......within the next 5 years I want to relocate to Asia and start to work in aid work. I'm now busy researching all possibilities.

A Stitch in Time - update by a visitior Asia » Cambodia » North » Siem Reap

Hijacking the tuktuk

A year ago I decided to go to Vietnam and Cambodia this year for my hols. While researching I stumbled upon the Travelblogs of Claire Hall alias "The Soul Cultivator" (http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Cambodia/North/Angkor/blog-248870.html) and immediately subscribed. I avidly followed her and Stu's adventures around Asia and often found myself engrossed not only in her wonderful way of describing the places they went and the people she met and their experiences but also loved her pictures which are really unique. Claire's blogs really moved me to tears several times and eventually I got in co [View Full Entry]

No eatables and no drinkables please - India Part I Asia » India » Rajasthan

Pink door

After jumping in my prepaid taxi at Delhi airport the wild journey in to the heart of the city began. Shortly after I wondered what I'd got myself in to? I'm not new to travel but my first half hour of India was definately an eye opener. By the time we reached my hotel I was ready for a nap anyway so slept for a while and then had a walk around the neighbourhood. I still wasn't sure what I'd got myself in to this time and was looking forward to meeting up with the other people I was going to [View Full Entry]

Summer in Wengen Europe » Switzerland » South-West » Wengen

RECOVERED

I'm fortunate enough to live in one of the most gorgeous places around. When on my days off or on late shift (I work on reception at a hotel) I'm usually found out on the mountain. Here are a few pictures of the area I live and play. In future I'll be doing travelblogs from the road when I'm usually of travelling every autumn for a month. Enjoy the views [View Full Entry]

Annapurna Circuit - 3 weeks - 300 kms Asia » Nepal » Annapurna

Suspension Bridge

My love affair with Nepal started in 1999 when two of my friends from the U.S. and I headed off for a 3 week trek from the suburbs of Kathmandu, via the Holy Lakes of Gosainkund to the Langtang and back to Kathmandu. The next time I visited was 2002 when I dragged my friend John to trek for 2.5 weeks from Jiri to Tengboche. We liked this area so much we returned two years later for 7 weeks and trekked once again from Jiri and also went up Mera Peak and then via Lukla to Gokyo and Kala Patar and [View Full Entry]
