I have just returned home from my very first trip to Nepal, a beautiful land that is home to the beautiful souls I've encountered along the way. I can remember ever so vividly a million palette of marigold and shades of earthy browns that engulf warmth even as the rush of cold would welcome us at dawn then return at dusk., as we spent the long nights around a bonfire, the heat keeping us alive.

Nepal and India had been one of the very first places on my travel bucket-list to visit back in senior high school, I can remember only being able to dream the colours I would witness, 7 years later and I made it. Amongst the ruins from the devastating earthquake last year, Nepal is slowly rebuilding themselves, what touched me the most was the kindness of its people and their endless spirit despite going through tough times. Travelling to Nepal not only means finding yourself in between flying colours of rich culture and picturesque experiences, it also means helping its people rebuild their homes as many rely on the tourist industry.

A place I have left a piece of me in and would come back to.
