Kids-Time
This is a top pick! Since we are sponsoring a kid at the Ashagram Orphanage in rural Siliguri, we wanted to at least spent 10 days here. We didn't quite know what to expect only that the kids were amazing since my sister had spent 2 months here volunteering. When we arrived, ...

Przybywamy do krainy trekingów
Jako ze nie udalo nam sie zrobic zadnego trekingu w Darjeelingu, ani tym bardziej w Sikkim (do którego w koncu nie pojechalismy gdyz dowiedzielismy sie, ze mozna tam chodzic po gorkach tylko z agencjami turystycznymi) uderzylismy do Nepalu. Na granicy ...
Lava
India, just shy of ten weeks. A sense of wonder settles between us as we prepare to leave. It is the same sense of wonder that we felt upon arrival- not truly knowing where we were or what we were doing. It took us a week to realize that we were here, ...

Heading East
