It has been a while since my last post – and I feel a little nervous getting back on the blogathon bandwagon. But here I am.

I am going to make this a short post. Since my last blog I have completed my first year of medical school, been for a short cycle tour in the Alps and spent a lot of time dreaming of getting back on the road. So in Summer 2012 myself and Simon are biting the bullet and heading off again to Nepal for two months. I got so much out of blogging for Peru – from peoples positive feedback to being forced to sit down, recount the amazing details of the trip and really thinking about why cycle touring is such good therapy. It’s good for the soul in fact. Not very medical but I am so excited already and need something to look forward to!

(Medical school = sore brain from cramming all the time)

Why Nepal? Well a few years ago I worked with a group of Nepalese people for the St Patrick’s Festival -trying to teach them how to dance for the parade on St Patricks Day! They were such a lovely group, so friendly and that experience has stayed with me. It also has the, ahem, Himalayas…I am drooling at the thought of being back in the mountains already. So planning starts now! Here is a very embarrassing youtube video explaining our work with the Nepalese group!
