Preface

Excerpt “Nepal was easily the most complex environment I've ever found myself in. It took most of my prior interpretations of living and cut them into a colorful collage bound by a homemade glue.

(...)

Without photos, it might be easier to forget about it all. To call it a chapter and close the book. But some nights I close my eyes and still can't seem to shake it. Dust settling onto sunburnt skin, that hard rain, a constant song.

So let this book be an attempt. An honest gesture to keep that mark somewhere on my skin, to hold onto the feeling a little longer, and maybe to convince myself it really wasn't all just a dream.”
