Welcome to my blog!!
I've decided to write it in English, because all the Norwegians I know speak English but none of my foreign friends speak Norwegian...
This blog will probably be filled with bits and pieces about everything and anything, but in the next couple of months it will be a travelblog. Simply because next Friday, May 15th, I'm setting off on a 7 weeks adventure! It's a grouptrip organised by a company called Dragoman called The Pilgrims Trail. Basically it starts in Kathmandu, Nepal, and ends up in Beijing, China. In the mean time we're heading to Mt. Everest base camp, Tibet, Golmud, Xi'an, Mt. Kongtong, Yinchuan and Chengde. Amongst others.
I'm quite excited about Mt. Everst base camp, it's at 5150 meters so I hope I'll be okey with the altitude. 5 years ago when my best friend Nora and I went backpacking we climbed Mt. Kinabalu which was 4100 meters and I was fine then so I hope I will be now aswell. I've got a sleepingbag that you can use in temperatures down to -30*C so at least I won't be cold!
I haven't started packing yet, but I've written a list! I've probably forgotten a lot, so let me know if you think there's something obvious I need to bring!
Well, that's all for now. I can't promise I'll be very good at keeping the blog updated given the nature of my trip, but I'll try my best! :)
Have a great trip Emily, just been to Kathmandu recently and it was a shocking but great experience. The trekking will be great but make sure you have some very warm clothes with you for the evenings. It was soooo cold :)

Hey this should be a great trip I hope you have fun. As many updates as possible would be great but it might be a little hard from countries that don't like people looking at the outside world on the net!
ReplyDeleteHave fun! - Ben
Hei Emily
ReplyDeleteFint å lese bloggen din og se at alt har gått bra. Regner med at du får en interessant tur ja, men hold deg unna skumle gater som hovedregel. Du får nok oppleve mye spennende fremover. Nå er vi ferdig med 17.mai-toget der Patriotene fikk prsentert sin kjempefine nye fane. Den er vi skikkelig stolte av.
