<p>Festival celebrations of any kind in the Newar community, <em>well most of Nepal really</em>, require a special kind of home brewed grain alcohol. It’s strong, but the well made varieties are always smooth. Women pride themselves on how high they can pour <em>aayla</em> into the small clay cups you see on the ground. Drinking from the clay cups really adds to the flavor.</p>

About Me

I grew up in a small town helping my parents on their farm. There I developed my love for nature and a desire to explore. Now I travel around the world photographing nature.

Interests

I love to travel. I have been everywhere, from Alaska to Zimbabwe. For every trip I keep a travel log of my adventures and capture the world as I see it.

Check out my photo gallery to get a glimpse into where I have been. And drop me a line if want to find out more. I always love to hear from fellow travelers.

Aspirations

I am looking for my next big adventure. There are still many places I want to visit and even more to which I want to return. The camera is charged up and my backpack is packed; drop me a line if you know where I should go next.
