Hoping I'm not forgetting something...
My final preparations are being made for my 9 weeks in Nepal! With a Monday departure, I’ve finally wrapped up any remaining contracts and started putting items aside to pack. I’ll be trekking in Nepal with my husband and a few friends in a variety of areas, including Mustang, Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Manaslu and Everest (no climbing, though!) I’ve just written a longer post for my blog, The Campsite, if you’re curious to know more.
In addition to trekking, I’ll be conducting some hands-on research into the garbage removal and accumulation at Mt. Everest, the tug-of-war between tourism and tradition for the Sherpa people, and the ongoing environmental issues in Nepal, such as deforestation and over-grazing. No doubt, more stories will emerge as we trek along!
I’m looking forward to having some time to write while I’m there and work on some of my other “projects” – ideas I’ll keep to myself for now, but will no doubt surface in the year to come!
Stay tuned here, to The Campsite, and particularly to my Facebook Page, where I hope to post more frequent updates.
Namaste,
Meghan

Lucky you! I hope your research is successful.
Wonderful place to visit!
Don’t miss Pokhra valley.
We will be eagerly following you. That is an understatement.
Have fun. Be safe. Write lots. Tell Paul to take great photos. I’m looking forward to reading your new insights!
