Exhausted! Overwhelmed! Anxious! Excited!

Finally arrived in Kathmandu after 3 days of travelling. Had a layover in Delhi ("no-mans-land") overnight for 16 hours which was not fun but I met some interesting people which allowed for my time to flow faster.

In Kathmandu I was picked up by Raj, the guest house representative. A freindly, happy guy! The drive through Kathmandu was a sensory stimulation, explosion!! I admit that I'm craving for something a little less, but I'm open to what will be. The guest house is exactly what I had pictured. It's comfortable, basic but surrounded by plants! Those of you who know me, know how this makes me happy! There are about 17 volunteers staying at the guest house, all about to embark on their volunteer experiences.

Today I begin an orientation day for my upcoming volunteer work. I still have no idea where I'll be or what kind of work I'll be doing. All will be reveiled to me soon enough!

Namaste.

Appologies for the lack of photos. I'll only be capable of posting photos when I return!

First night in Portland, Oregon!

Today I arrived in Portland, Oregon all the way from Brooklyn, New York. My new home. Tomorrow I fly to Nepal! I've covered so many miles but I'm not done yet!
