Details of my Nepal Trip

When I was deciding to go to Nepal I was looking at brochures and thought I'd picked out a trek I wanted to do, but then I went looking on the internet at a few different companies. I then found the perfect trip with World Expeditions. It leaves at the end of March for 15 days. Its a fundraising trip for the Australian Himalayan Foundation and part of the money goes towards teacher training (something I'm interested in as I'm trained as a Primary Teacher). We trek for 7 days and camp. We also visit the first school and hospital that Sir Edmund Hilary built.

The thing that also makes this trip really special is that Sorrell Wilby is escorting it. Sorrell is an amazing woman. She rode a bicycle through Asia, walked across Tibet, she traversed the Himalayan Mountains and climbed all the major mountains in Africa. She wrote books on these trips and worked for Australian Geographic and on an Australian Travel TV Show called Getaway. I remember reading her books when they first came out and loved them and her sense of adventure. I never in my wildest dreams would have thought that I would be going on a trek with her. Its going to be wonderful talking to her and listening to her stories.
