NEPAL = Never Ending Peace And Love :)

To all our loved ones at home who are wandering how we are going, we are great. Aside from the odd sickness here and there, we are travelling along nicely. Our host families along with Sonam, Kalden and Kerry are being more than accommodating. We truly feel at home!

We have already learnt so much, both educationally and culturally. Tibetans have many reasons to be bitter about what has happened to their country, but instead they stay positive and welcoming to all. Nepal has been known in the past & present as the land of possibility.

We are living in Tashi Ling Tibetan settlement which is one of four Tibetan settlements in Pokhara. These camps allow the Tibetans to keep their traditions and culture alive. We have been learning some more Nepalese in preparation for school, which we are all super excited for.

Fact of the day- Nepal is one of the richest countries in biodiversity, culture and natural beauties, holding 8 out of the 10 worlds highest mountains including the famous Mount Everest
