We’ve just recently moved into our new apartment in San Jose. Finding a place in San Francisco from across the country was more difficult than expected so we’ll be at this place for the 6 month lease and then possibly moving on.
The 2 week trip across the country was amazing. We visited some of the […]

Bungee Jumping + Chitwan Pictures
Published July 2nd, 2009 in crazy, Pictures, National Parks and Nepal. 12 CommentsChris and I found ourselves jumping off a suspension bridge 500 feet above a raging river near the Nepal/Tibet border yesterday. I was doing pretty well standing on the bridge waiting my turn. Not so nervous. Then it’s my turn and I get suited up and creep up to the edge. Wow. Not too much […]
Rafting, Rhinos, and Annapurna Circuit Pictures
Published June 29th, 2009 in Pictures, Travel and Nepal. 12 CommentsWe are in Kathmandu right now after finishing a 2 day overnight rafting trip. Highlights include:
Nobody understanding our incredible quiet, monotone, and apathetic sounding tour guide explaining safety instructions.
Our guide dangerously tying a large metal pump to the top of our bags in the middle of the raft. We joked about smashing our teeth into […]
The Annapurna Circuit is completely amazing and a dream come true for anybody that enjoys hiking. We covered around 215 miles in 16 days including 1 day of rest, veering off the main path to go to Tilicho Lake, and a 15 mile day hike. Some of the days were pretty brutal but always incredibly […]
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Varanasi. Varanasi has a population of 3 million people which is far more managable than the 15ish million of Mumbai and Kolkata. It also has something incredibly sacred to the roughly 900 million Hindus in the world: The Ganges River. In Varanasi alone every single […]
Anybody that thinks New York City is dirty and crowded would absolutely hate Kolkata with a passion. In fact, you would easily hate any major Indian city. My pictures do not do major cities justice, nor any part of our Indian travel experience for that matter.
There is lots more to read below the […]
You can get a lot of details I don’t have time to write about on Chris’ blog. I spent most of my time here working on pictures. Here are some unrelated things:
- We believe Aman, the Indian guy we met on our first day in Goa, was trying to scam us. The next day after […]
My neglect for this website has reached new heights! Life is great. Check back in May when I graduate and travel as I will have more interesting things to post. Currently my top idea is to backpack India and Nepal for the 3 months I have but don’t quote me on that.
Obama delivered his first […]
These are all from the road trip Michael and I took on the way out here at the beginning of the Summer.
Took a fantastic trip to Asheville last weekend where we were treated to the sounds of Scott’s band at Jack of the Wood as well as the fine dining/living experience presented by my wonderful mother. Thanks, and look forward to next time!
Managed to get up into the mountains as well which was niceee, here […]
