Asia! I can't believe it.

Janella’s and Dorota’s Great Big Nepal Adventure

We’re happy to inaugurate ELI’s new Field Notes feature with Janella’s first trip to Nepal. Janella is the Spanish-language Program Specialist at ELI and Voluntarios Internacionales. If you’ve ever written or called ELI en español, you were helped by Janella!

Janella has traveled quite a bit - but she’s never been to Asia. Since Nepal is such a huge destination for ELI’ers, and since she’s sent so many Spanish speakers there, it was high time Janella explored in person ELI’s many programs in Kathmandu.

And that’s a tall order, so I’m coming along to help. My name’s Dorota, I’m ELI’s Content Specialist, providing much of ELI’s website copy and the primary writer of participant interviews you’ll find on our site.

Together, Janella and I will travel from ELI’s headquarters in Denver, Colorado all the way to Kathmandu. And that’s one long trip: it’ll take two days, 4 connections and night in Bangkok before we reach Nepal… which is almost directly on the other side of the world from Colorado.
Join us on this wild ride to see how we cope with the challenges along the way!
