This blog will be epic.
Or at least I think it will be...
Saajan and I have yet to purchase our tickets to Nepal but it's so near the anxiety that I am feeling over the upcoming trip is overwhelming.
Taxes 101, and viola ticket to Nepal in our reach. My baby bro is turning 21 and spending it with his only sister right here in Boston... a whole 4 weeks before I am to make my way to another country. Saaj hasn't been back in awhile so I am sure a lot of things will be new to him as well... but I try to imagine where he might be coming from- i'm sure it's not even close to what he is really going through or will go through. .
 
A little background on myself... I'm a 25 year old female, who at one point in life was determined to be someone who helped others and live comfortably doing it. At one point in my life I did fulfill my goal of being able to help people but I was not living comfortably. I was burning myself out, expecting way too much out of myself and others. With a roof over my head and way more than three meals a day I felt deprived... I felt wasted and just worn out. What a selfish thing to realize. I had a car, a roof over my head, family that loved me and yet I felt deprived.
I don't know the real meaning of deprived because my wonderful parents never wanted me to feel that way and for that I am truly grateful as their child, but as an adult I feel as though i'm lacking.

I want to see the world as cliche as it sounds, and I'm starting, with Nepal. I am going with the person I love, who is from this country and who I know will show me amazing things.

Here's counting down to our Nepal trip... April2012.
