All Hands Project Ecuador

Ben and I arrived on the coast of Ecuador about 6 weeks ago. Before coming here we’d spent a few months at home in Sarasota, reconnecting with family and friends.

Yoga in Southern India

Ben and I have spent the past 10 days at the Swan Yoga center in Goa, Southern India. We left Malawi at the end of October, after almost two weeks on project with All Hands.

Calcutta the City of Joy

Before leaving Nepal, Ben and I agreed we wanted to continue our work with All Hands.

On the Border of India & Pakistan

Ben and I arrived to Northern India 7 days ago. Last weekend, we flew from Kathmandu to Delhi where we spent the night in the airport.

All Hands: Project Nepal in Kathmandu

Little Victories in Nepal

Little Victories in Nepal

Namaste once again from Nepal. As most of you know, who’ve been following our Asia travels, Ben and I were in Pokhara, Nepal when the magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck on April 25. The earthquake killed over 8000 people, injured thousands more, and destroyed an estimated 500,000 homes. It was a terrifying experience, but we were lucky … Continue reading Little Victories in Nepal

Kathmandu & Hiking the Himalayas

Kathmandu & Hiking the Himalayas

This post is a difficult one to write. Ben and I have just completed 22 days of hiking in the Nepali Himalayas and in thinking of how to compile my thoughts about these three magical weeks, my mind remains focused on the earthquake. We’d just gotten back to Pokhara the morning the main earthquake hit. … Continue reading Kathmandu & Hiking the Himalayas
