Feedback - Nar & Phu 2009 Feedback

- February 02, 2010

"It was everything I expected, and nothing I expected (if that makes any sense). We saw some of the most beautiful, remote parts of the Himalayas, practically untouched by our Western society. I built relationships with wonderful people from home and abroad, I was led down a mountain by a Buddhist monk who took me places I did not think possible, I saw people carrying wood for days just to keep warm at night, I experienced an incredibly beautiful culture and I grew with Hovan, my partner, as he experienced one of the toughest mornings of his life. It has truly been an amazing once in a lifetime experience for me."
