South Asia, Nepal, Tibet, and China, 2013-14
Well, after about five years of a somewhat settled life I've decided to go fully nomadic again. As I set out for Asia I have about 7 months of travel planned out to a substantial degree but have made preparations to enable me to continue of much beyond that if I so choose. My current plans are for about 3 months in India, trips to Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives, some time in Nepal including one of the classic treks, and then from Nepal to China through Tibet. And after that? Well, I have some ideas but haven't made any decisions yet.
