So, this is it. My last night in the U.S.A. for the next two months.
All the creature comforts of this country will lead way to mosquitos and leeches during monsoon season in Nepal. After arriving in Kathmandu on Tuesday and learning about local environmental issues for the first 2 weeks, I'll be traveling to remote forests to volunteer and research sustainable community forestry initiatives in person, with my own two dark-brown eyes. Or so I think... anything is bound to happen!
Rain gear - check
Giardia and cryptosporidium fighting pills - check
Lemur beanie baby - sititng atop my backpack, waiting to join me on this exciting adventure ; )
Reading material for a 33 hour multi-plane ride - TBD (suggestions welcome)
Getting excited to fully thaw out my body that nearly froze in the Midwest this winter and of course share new stories with you as they arise!
