So... it's just under 1 month away that I leave to go to Nepal and China for 105 days. Wow! The journey will be amazing and I hope to experience some amazing things. Culture shock will be guaranteed and the fact that I'll be in a foreign country for over 100 days will soon hit me pretty good. I am excited, nervous and optimistic about the trip... here are the details for you to follow me on my travels:

What I do:
I will develop recreational activities for the patients, teach them skills, interact with then, work in day care facilities, prep school classes and conduct vocational training along with various admin tasks on site. With the support of West Vancouver Little League, I will try to teach these kids coordination and other daily skills through sport needed to enhance their current mental or physical state.
Not only will we be volunteering, my girlfriend and I will be traveling around Kathmandu experiencing their culture, their way of living and their back country hiking areas! In November when the volunteer placement is finished, we will be taking off for 25 + days to hike the Annapurna Circuit, visiting tea huts, small villages and other areas of Nepal.
This blog will act as my main point of contact along with email. Photos will be posted here and you can write your comments as you see fit. I hope you can enjoy this trip as much as I will!
