Dear readers,
For those who have followed my attempts at blogging in the past, you are probably rolling your eyes whilst reading this sentence, noting the epic failure of said past blogging failures. I nonetheless ask that you grit your teeth and bare with me on this final effort to blog my upcoming travels through the far-East.
As some of you may or may not know, I am about to embark on an adventure of self-discovery and charitable work where I will be schlepping myself through the exotic countries of Thailand, Nepal and Bhutan.
Nepal will pose a particular challenge as I have set myself the daunting goal of climbing up to Mount Everest base camp. As I sweat and cry my way up the mountain, I have asked those of you who are able, to donate to the fund I have put together to buy mosquito nets for people and families threatened by malaria. Please find more details and a means of donating on my web page: https://www.fundraise.com/lara-salzer/lara-salzer-levi
Every little helps!
I have decided to go head first into this new adventure with few expectations and great enthusiasm to see and learn. I will be leaving my loved ones behind with the hope that they will be patient and understanding of my choices, even though they have already been as supportive and encouraging as anyone could ask for. I thank you deeply and will no doubt use your energy to motivate me when times get hard/there is a large cockroach in my sleeping bag. I will miss you dearly. You know who you are.
Where my blogging attempts have failed in the past due to tight schedules, lack of high tech gadgets and (let's be honest) motivation, I will be making my own path on this occasion, with only myself to blame for the massive flop that is to ensue (if it comes to that).
The purpose of this blog is mainly to keep my family, friends and others (define as you like) up to speed with my movements, and to keep a mental note of my travels for future recollection when sat at a desk on my lunch break. If these scattered ramblings of a mad woman can come to the use to other travellers, even better. Please note that I am not and do not pretend to be a writer of any merit or experience so please allow your eyes to twitch at the typos, phrasing errors and illegible jibber jabber and keep reading. Most of my writing will be done in questionable conditions but I will do my best to maintain a certain standard of writing.
For this reason, I have decided to be strict with myself and enforce the following rules:
1. Try and blog once a week
2. Keep it short and sweet
3. Include pictures when available/ when I figure out how to do that
4. Be honest
5. Keep it light
As this journey will bring with a lot of personal change, I decided to kick start the process and make some changes of my own by donating my maine of hair to charity.
That being said, I would love for you to tune into my 'Great Adventure' which will hopefully begin to take form over the next couple of days!!
In the meantime, wish me luck and no crying babies on the flight!
Keep smiling,
Lara
