London - tomorrow we go!

They night before the flight out and I'm a sitting on my friend Tracy's sofa and wondering if I have forgotten anything.. 
Water purifier and Imodium, camera, dollars, camelbak and visa - all should be ok now!
I read a book today by a travel journalist and I am just getting more intrigued and excited, Nepal seems to be a fantastic country! Hard to understand they had a war just a few years ago, people is poor but so generous. But I think you see that in all these poor countries though, the less people have the more generous. Quite fascinating..

Went through London today, I do love this place. So vibrant and people from all over. Swedes are nice, but fairly introverted people. I had a typical London-experience today at the Apple store. I was waiting for my turn to get served when a guy comes up saying "I have arrived!" Then he wanted to be friends on Facebook (?)! I kinda declined in a nice way but it was a bit random, as many of my meets are. But refreshing, I needed this. And a nice reminder not to take myself so serious, we only live once! More random, please! :) 

Going to bed now, need to rest some before the great flight tomorrow to Kathmandu. I am really nervous, but excitingly nervous! 
Want to see those peaks and temples and all! Woop woop - day has finally arrived!

Jan 29 2018 Saturday Village picnic My new Saturday habit is to go to the Farmers Market at Le Sherpa, north of the city. To indulge in all this fresh vegetables and exciting food (read: Momo's) is just a perfect start of the weekend. This Saturday just gone, my dear friend Nima met up with me at the market which was really nice. I was glad that he had the time for me as he is nowadays the Hon. Member of Province Parliament , or Mr Congress Man as I call him. I think that is pretty cool, he is the only person I know in a parliament, and I am sure he will do a lot of good for his province. This particular Saturday, he wanted to go to a village in his province for a picnic, he told me to come along. Last time Nima told me to come along was in 2016. I ended up in a jeep with my sleeping bag and 5h later on disco roads as they are called, I was in his village Sermathang up in the mountains in Helambu region. As it happened, it was Nepali New Years Eve and I ended up celebratin

Thank you!

I am so happily surprised by the generousity of people around me! Thank you so much for supporting Childreach and their work in Tanzania! My knee is feeling a lot better even if it looks horrible still... blue all around, but easier to walk on, def. Cant wait for it to be ok to run on again, this is doing my head in. So much energy and nowhere to spend it! :) Went to see Chelsea-Swansea on Saturday, had a great time at the stadium! Was invited by the friends and I must say it was a great game and event. And Chelsea won after playing really well, so that was very good. I was told that the players have lots of groupies waiting for them outside, travelling from all sorts of places to meet their idols.. lots of girls hanging around the stadium to get a little glimpse.. I guess I just never thought it would be like that with footballers, but then again, Beckham and Cole do have famous girlfriends too.. Anyway, another week to hit and I am sure I will be back on my training soon again!

The mountains are calling me again!

Everest national park.. It is time again - I am off to Nepal in 5 days to trek through the lovely mountains of Annapurna, western Himalayas. It has now been 2,5 years since I left Nepal after a month packed of many experiences I will never forget. Many memories being from the amazing trek to Everest Base Camp, scenery from a dream and hard like a nightmare to the mind and body. But, somehow, wonderful and amazing at the same time. Amazing views.. Other fab memories are from meeting people, lovely Nepali people. I usually say that the Nepali people are made of pure goodness, that is how it feels. Honesty, love, humbleness.. All these things in one go. One special person is of course my "little brother- Sano Bhai" Padam. He walked with me during the Everest BC trek to ensure I wasn't going to get too sick in my altitude sickness bubble of constant pounding headaches and heavy legs along with strong nausea.. You who are sensitive to altitude will know w
