Hey everyone, I’m probably going to Nepal to do volunteer work for a month this summer. Does anybody have any tips? I’ll probably be heading out into the mountains, to the distant regions in Langtang national park.

I would love to hear some tips/advice/stories from anybody who’s been to that region!

Cheers

Personally (I will get a lot of sh*t for this but that doesn’t matter), I have seen nicer places to dive. For starters, the Maldives. They are just absolute heaven. The GBR is a simplistic swimming pool compared to what the Maldives has to offer.

Otherwise, although I can’t speak from experience with this one, I hear that the Red Sea has a lot more diversity than the GBR.

Either way, the GBR is definitely amazing. But if you were planning a trip just to go diving somewhere, I would definitely recommend goin to the Maldives instead.

I’ll start by naming songs (they’re things too right?) that make me really happy:
1. Happy Ending by Mika
2. For The Widows In Paradise by Sufjan Stevens
3. In The Sun by Joseph Arthur
4. Cry by James Blunt
5. Rain Down On Me by Kane
6. Something More by Sugarland
7. Who Knew by Pink
8. Confutatis or Dies Irae from Mozart’s Requiem
9. Any really good DrumnBass song that makes your heart pound in a huge nightclub
10. Innocence (in the form of remote mountain villages in South America or the Himalayas)
11. Listening to the drumsolos from Drumline
12. Walking through the gates of an airport while listening to (1.)
13. Knowing that I can laugh with my mom
14. Talking with my brother about how much we miss eachother
15. Sitting in Hyde Park and watching happy people
16. Finding a new style
17. Feeling the wind in my hair (i.e. when wakeboarding, skiing or snowboarding)
18. Watch the tea plantations in Haputale, Sri Lanka
19. The Radisson Hotel in Panama
20. The street feel of Cambodia
21. The olive branches and blue seas of Greece
22. The nationalism of Cuba

I will continue this when I have more :)
