So how about that Nepal, huh? I spent a little under two weeks in the beautiful country of Nepal this January. The 7th-17th to be precise, but with travel it came to about 2 weeks. And simply put, I had an incredible time. I went as a member of a Learning Tour through New Community Project. NCP is an amazing non-profit that focuses on a number of global issues including women's empowerment, rain forest preservation, climate change and all sorts of other cool stuff. My trip was designed specifically to look at the inequalities that exist between women & men in Nepal and ways to shift that. We visited schools where girls are sponsored my NCP and spent time with women who are attempting to make a living without depending on their husbands. Many eye opening experiences were had.
Aaaand not surprisingly, I took a grip of video on this trip. So I've decided to give you a day-by-day video run down of my adventure in a series I'm calling "Kev In Nepal". Get it, 'cause like, "Kev In" is like "Kevin" and I was IN Nepal... Yeah, now you're with me. And I would like to credit my friend Paul Sparks who also set up a blog while he was in Nepal and titled it "Paul In Nepal". See, his wordplay is more based on the similar sound of his name with the end of Nepal's name. But regardless, I'd be lying if I said his blog's title didn't help me arrive at mine. So thank you for allowing me to be unoriginal, Paul.
So as I am tirelessly editing away all my footage in the hopes of coming up with something cohesive for you all to watch, I'll leave you with the two videos I DO have put together already. The first, a general overview of my trip for when people ask me how it was. This is how it was:
And second, a tour of one of the most important aspects of life: the bathroom.
Hey, thanks for the shout out! Killer videos too, btw.
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul! And you're quite welcome for the shout out. You know, after browsing through some of your Nepal posts, it would've done me a lot of good to read those before my trip...a bunch of people in our group had to buy the photos for our visa's when we got to the airport too. Could've avoided that with the knowledge of Paul in Nepal...
