Queridos mios,

I'm packing a bag (and tent) and heading back to Asia. Nepal this time. In my younger years, I travelled mostly to tame my curiosity. But when you find yourself trapped in a room with a bat demonstrating irrational behavior, you have to stop and ask yourself WHAT AM I DOING HERE? It’s a question I asked myself often. The normal response: I don’t know, ya know?

Anyway, now I know. I’m here to do something…hopefully something meaningful and impactful and self-sacrificing because it’s not about me. It’s about people in places that could use a hand.

So this month, I’ll be doing that in Takure, a village outside of Katmandu. They are a crafty people who make their own eco-friendly bricks. And they need hands to rebuild in the wake of last year's earthquake. The goal is to build a women’s community center. Guys, you know me—how perfect is that?!

I know I’m the epitome of first-world, hash-tag blessed, but you should also know I’m crazy thankful for everyone who continuously supports me on these wild adventures.

So I am covering my travel costs and raising funds to help with construction costs/land fees. Please feel free to commission me for any type of work to help me raise moneys. Really, I make all sorts of things!

xx,
Tatiana
