Gori's & Sergi's Adventures

Featured

Hello world!

So excited to meet you for the first time!

We are Sergi & Gori, a couple from Basque Country living the world as much as we can. This blog is mostly to share our experiences working, travelling and living abroad and it´s the first time we do this, so we will ask for a little patience from your side .

This blog will be in both Spanish and English , and we’ll see if we learn more languages .

The categories in which we decided to divide the blog are:

IMAGINE

In this first category we’ll keep the wishes or dreams that we have, information and news about places that we want to visit next, our feelings about upcoming adventures and many more things related to our imagination .

EXPLORE

Explore is where most of the posts of this blogs will lay, we’ll share our trip plans, recommendations and experiences in the different places we’ve already visited.

RESPECT

We think that respect is the most important thing in all aspects o life, and we have to show that in our blog too. In this category we’ll post news, volunteering experiences, tips to keep the planet fresh and clean and everything in this context that we find useful.

Leave it better than you found it

THINK ABOUT IT…

Many people reflect about things that the’ve seen and done, but we believe that reflections must be crystalized and kept safe, so we can learn from ourselves.

INSPIRE

All of us get inspired by someone or something and this is the place where we’ll share our daily inspirations and things that may be inspirational for others . feel free to share with us what inspires you most so we can share it also!

COMING BACK?

This category will contain a little mess of random posts that don’t fit in other categories .

¡Hola!

¡Qué guay conocernos!

Somos Sergi y Gori, una pareja de Euskadi disfrutando todo lo que podemos del mundo . Este blog es mayormente para compartir nuestra experiencia trabajando, viajando y viviendo por ahí. Es la primera vez que hacemos esto, así que rogamos un poquito de paciencia .

Algunos posts de este blog estarán escritos en castellano y otros en inglés , y ya veremos si aprendemos más idiomas .

Hemos decidido dividir este blog en categorías:

IMAGINE

En esta categoría compartiremos los sueños y aspiraciones, noticias, nuevos sitios por visitar, sensaciones antes de viajes y muchas más cosas que se nos ocurran .

EXPLORE

Planes de viajes, recomendaciones, anécdotas y tips de los lugares que hemos visitado.

RESPECT

Creemos que el respeto es la base fundamental de toda relación de un ser vivo con aquello que le rodea; naturaleza, personas, objetos, animales que lo merecen. Por ello, en esta sección compartiremos todo tipo de iniciativas, voluntariados y acciones que se pueden llevar en nuestro día a día para mantener el respeto allá donde vayamos.

THINK ABOUT IT…

Todo el mundo reflexiona en algún momento ante ciertas actitudes, acciones o situaciones que ha vivido. Nosotros, para aprender, las escribimos.

INSPIRE

Lo que nos inspira cada día y creamos que puede inspirar a otros, lo escribiremos en esta categoría . ¡Toda inspiración es bienvenida!

COMING BACK?

Este es el sitio donde irán todas las cosas que no encajen en ninguna otra categoría; vamos, la carpeta “otros” de toda la vida .

4 Days in Nepal ~ ILWA

Hello, la, la la!!

First post in English already

This time, we´d love to share with the world our adventures in Nepal, let’s get started!

We travelled to nepal from the 15th to the 19th of February 2019, quite a nice time to go if you don’t want to find many crowds.

We really wanted to go trekking, but we had really few days, so we decided to take it slow and visit the Kathmandu Valley for this time, because we’re going back for sure!

15TH FEBRUARY:

We arrived to Kathmandu Airport quite late in the evening, around 8pm and we got a little cheated by the driver that was going to take us to the airport (he charged us 800 NPR). NOTE THAT THE FAIR AMOUNT TO GO TO THE CENTRE OF KATHMANDU SHOULD BE AROUND 400 NPR.
Our good luck wasn’t with us that night and the room that we had booked for that night was given to another couple, SO GREAT . That´s why in this case we’re not recommending you this place.

16TH FEBRUARY:

Our plan was to see Kathmandu Durbar Square, Thamel and surroundings, but…

So we ended up having some beers and going to Nagarkot in early afternoon.

17TH FEBRUARY:

We saw the sunrise with views of Himalaya Mountains , from the hotel terrace, really good experience.
After that, we had a little walk around Nagarkot

We ate lunch on our way to Namo Buddha Monastery, but for some reason that we didn’t know, it was closed that day, so we had a walk around it.
Our aim was to see Bhaktapur afterwards, but due to the traffic and the weather, we couldn’t, so we headed back to Kathmandu again

18TH FEBRUARY:

In the morning, we went to Patan Durbar Square, where we met some friends which Gori first met in 2015, when se came to Nepal to volunteer for Hands On Institute (we will write a whole post on this, for sure).

After having lunch, we went to Boudhanath, which is one of the largest Stupas in the World. There’s an entrance fee that is quite high, but if you enter from any hotel surrounding it, it’s free! (We discover this AFTER having paid).

In the late evening, we were told to go to Pashupatinath, next to Bagmati river, where take place the funeral ceremonies of hindus.

That night we went to the Casino… All the food you can eat and all the drinks you’re able to drink are available on the condition that you play… You just need the Passport for a free entrance!

19TH FEBRUARY:

Last day in Nepal… In early morning we headed to the Monkey Temple in Kathmandu. SUGGESTION: Have a good breakfast because from Thamel it’s a 30 minute walk, but once you get there there are like ten thousand stairs.
Once you get there, you’ll get a nice view of Kathmandu and many many monkeys.

After that, we went directly to the airport, back home

This was our trip to Nepal, we ABSOLUTELY loved it and we’re planning to go back soon.

If you wander where to eat, which hotel to book, a driver or you are planning a trip to Nepal like ours, just drop a mail, call us or follow our adventures on social media, it will be really great if we could help with you adventures also!!

¿QUÉ HACES CONTIGO?

Aiiii primer post del blog, ¡qué nervios, eh!

Bueno, que al final nos hemos animado a contar nuestras aventuras y queríamos estrenarnos en esta categoría en particular.

Piénsalo…

¿Y por qué? Muy fácil, por lo general, cada vez que vivimos o vamos a vivir una experiencia, una sensación o incluso cuando no, existe una reflexión.

Hay quien no piensa demasiado y actúa bajo la mismísima dictadura de sus instintos y hay quien se tira toda la tarde pensando y al final no hace nada.

TAMPOCO ES ESO

Lo ideal sería un intermedio, una recapitulación de acontecimientos que nos permita conversar brevemente con nosotros mismos para no volver a caer en lo de siempre o para atrevernos a algo que nunca hicimos.

Y es que, igual somos los próximos pensadores de esta generación y aún no nos hemos puesto a ello, que con todo esto de “Live Laugh Love, YOLO y tbt” parece que lo de pensar no está de moda en estos tiempos que corren.

Vamos a parar el carro y relajar el esfínter un poquito, que ya estamos a viernes.

No hace falta que a los 25 hayamos vivido ya en 19 países y hayamos ido a todos los festivales habidos y por haber. No hace falta que estudiemos una carrera que no nos gusta, ni que aprobemos esa asignatura que no nos entra a la primera. Tampoco tenemos que obcecarnos en que nuestra vida sea perfecta y seamos felices ya, ahora y para siempre.

Señores, arrugas tenemos todos y con “arrugas” nos referimos a que nadie es como parece en Facebook. Ni en Instagram, ni Tumblr ni leches en vinagre. PERO ES QUE TAMPOCO HACE FALTA.

Obviamente, si vamos a subir una foto, que sea en un sitio txuli, que salgamos guapas o que se nos noten bien los abdominales que hemos cosechado.

Pero sigue pensándolo, aprendiendo, disfrutando del camino y siendo consciente de que vas a tener que vivir contigo toda tu vida.

Tú eres tú,
pero también eres lo que piensas, eres lo que haces, con quién lo haces y lo que has aprendido.
ASÍ QUE, PIÉNSALO, ¿QUIÉN ERES Y QUÉ HACES CONTIGO?
