Welcome to my Blog

From here I will be telling and showing everyone what I'm up to whilst travelling through India and volunteering my time with children and local communities in Nepal. Flying out to Delhi on the 17th October and returning from Kolkata on the 6th April 2008.

So come anytime, to see how I'm getting on and read some great stories, view wonderful pictures and maybe some video too... :0)

Hello West I'm Back!!


This is a short blog to say hello to everyone and to let you know that I have returned safely on British soil. I have actually been here for 1 week and just about adjusted to the differences in culture, though one thing for sure, I will never be the same again, Nepal has left a mark on my heart that is permanent and will not be removed and I'm sure will only grow larger in the years to come.

I hope that those who I have yet to speak with are all doing well and that at somepoint I look forward to catching up with you. As you could guess, it's quite a manic time at the moment, having to look for work, arrange many things for the Nepali village project, which I apologise for not putting up anything sooner, but information will come in the coming months and you will all hopefully get to see more of what our plans are for this beautiful, underdeveloped community in Central Nepal, the village of Andhimul.

I will also be doing some more indepth blog updates on my final 2 months. The Village, my final week in Kathmandu, and my trip to Darjeeling & Kolkata, so I will be letting you all know as soon as I have bits uploaded, of course many wonderful pictures too!

Last Sunday, I was shocked to hear the Captain of our plan tell us over the Tannoy "Our landing is going to be delayed due to snow fall..." In April!? I and many other passengers were shocked, especially after leaving 35 degrees in Kolkata. Well why should we be suprised with the UK weather, we should be used to it by now :)...Anyway enjoy the few pics above and I'll be blogging again soon!
