Reposting @b2evillage. Also here Niko = guideji. He came up with his own nickname as I came up with Suv. 🤭 Few weeks ago, Niko shared a video by @salomonrunning, "Any Path. Your Way." Everyone knows that although I love spending time in nature, outdoors is not my thing. So while I could relate with every words on that video, I couldn't relate with the visuals. Here's why: I have always been told that I don't behave like a girl. I am not a big fan of cooking, cleaning, sewing and other traditionally a feminine job. I don't mind getting my dresses dirty, or my hair. I love playing with soil and climbing trees (or hugging them at least). I don't mind callouses formed by too much walking. I would mostly come home with wounds and scars from falling down. I am a very clumsy person and have no hand-eye-leg coordination. There have been times when I knew what I had to do but I wouldn't end up doing it. Going through pictures when I last visited b2e space, I saw this tree I'd climbed with two teenage girls. But I remembered this one time I went for a hike with Mama (mom's brother) and we had to jump from a cliff. He'd told me to hold on to a branch of a tree nearby for support because I never trust my legs while jumping. I did and I jumped, only to find myself hanging from the tree because I forgot to let go of the branch. Niko and I have come up with our own theory on how I am like this (I blame it on lack of physical activity during my childhood, he on my lack of determination) but what do you think? But whatever the reason is, I am so glad that I will have this space via b2e to try and fail, climb and fall down, to be near to nature without risking any accidents (or even if there is, I will have no fear because Niko will be there, hehe 😝🙈). . . #lifeinhirapur #lifeinb2e #backtotheearth #permaculturefarming #nature #Nepal #farmlife #trees #b2evillage #adventureswithguideji (at Back To the Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBrsDPkB9uv/?utm_medium=tumblr
