New audio slideshow: Return to Nepal

The top story on World Hum today is an audio slide show I did about my trip to Nepal this summer. I’m thrilled to see it online! I studied abroad in Nepal for a semester in 2000, and recently returned to write an article as a freelancer for the Boston Globe. While the Globe article focuses on what the country was like for the average traveler at the moment, this slide show is a more personal version of what the trip was like for me. It’s a pleasure to get to share so many of my photos from the trip, and to narrate the experience via this slide show. You can see and listen to the slide show by clicking here or on the above photo. Enjoy!

I’m thrilled to be joining World Hum’s blogging team!
World Hum is an outstanding website now owned by the Travel Channel, and they publish some of the best travel writing and travel photography online (and the occasional short travel video, too). I’ll be writing a new blog on Air Travel, which I’ll update multiple times per week. You can always check here for the most up-to-date entry to the Air Travel section of World Hum’s Travel Blog.
Read the Air Travel intro item: “Taking Flight“
Read the next entry, related to U.S. Airways Flight 1549: “A Trip to Battery Park City“
I won’t be cross-referencing all of my blog entries for World Hum here on this website, but I’m sure that I will be linking to them from time to time.
I’ve done several pieces for World Hum in the past, and I’m excited to now be a regular contributor to their blog. Past feature stories for them have been an essay called “The Dogs of Pohnpei,” as well as an essay considering the controversial practice of slum tourism in Brazil, called “Slumming in Rio,” which was accompanied by an audio slide show.
I hope you visit World Hum frequently.
