The next chapter
I can't quite get over how these past few months have slipped away. I've been back in America for longer than my trip to Asia. Admittedly, it has been busy. In fact, since I left Asia, I have managed to squeeze into my schedule, my five major cities, London, Edinburgh, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco. I've been lucky in that I have been able to find pieces of work in various places that has also given me the opportunity to revisit my various homes on this planet. On some level, I feel like this whirlwind tour of the different corners of my life, served to put it all in perspective, reminding me of who I am and my place in the world (particularly in comparison to being in Asia), and secondly, gave me an opportunity to say hello to the various friends I have collected along the way as my sense is that I won't see most of them for a while.
Everything is falling into place and although I haven't saved up as much as I would have liked, I am preparing myself for my return to India in December. This time I shall go for almost six months, travelling around the South of India for the first six weeks and then returning to Nepal for the following four months to study Nepali and do more work with EWN (Empowering Women of Nepal), the organisation I did the training with in May when I was there. Although it sounds like a long time to go off 'on holiday', I only really view the first six weeks as such as once I return to Nepal, I will be studying and then volunteering as well as getting deeper into my new project which I will write more about later.
So, I have decided to start a new blog, as this year is nearly over, and this definitely feels like the next chapter of my adventures

It is amazing to me how much my life can have changed in this last year and I am lucky to have so many wonderful friends all over the world, without whose support and hospitality this past few months gallivanting around the globe would not have been possible.
