Namaste!
My name is Casey and I’m a journalist living in Australia.
A series of seemingly ordinary incidents changed my life in 2008 and I've been with my Nepalese man ever since.
We've encountered a lot over the years. For me having to hide our relationship because of culture has been the hardest part of the experience. We also struggled with immigration. But, now finally, we can be together.
This blog is about intercultural love, culture, love, Nepal, Australia and how life is anything but ordinary when two cultures come together.

Being modern and your family visiting you abroad
An interesting conversation I regularly have with Rabindra and other Nepalese people is the topic of who is ‘modern’ and who is not amongst our friends and family. When we talk about being ‘modern’, I guess we are talking about … Continue reading
Being treated differently in Nepal & being refused from Hindu temples
I thought I would share some of the negative experiences I had as a foreigner while travelling throughout Nepal last year. I feel sharing my experiences may help other foreigners to understand certain behaviours before they travel to Nepal. Even … Continue reading

Living in Nepal- my very deep thoughts
Lately I’ve really been thinking about whether or not I could live in Nepal. Rabindra and I have discussed this recently and it’s something that scares me a fair bit. He has mentioned that we could move to Nepal if … Continue reading
Meeting the parents
The build up to the day I met Rabindra’s parents had consumed every little part of me for more than three years. When things with Rabindra and I started getting serious, I started to research on the internet about intercultural … Continue reading
From Australia to Nepal (part 3)
On my second day in Nepal was a bandh (strike) over the price of petrol. It meant all of Kathmandu and other parts of the country were closed for business and no vehicles were allowed on the road (except press … Continue reading
From Australia to Nepal (part 2)
The day I arrived in Nepal was a bit of a blur. We touched down at Kathmandu airport and Rabindra and I went into separate immigration lines. Surprisingly, my line, the tourist line, was so much longer than the Nepali … Continue reading
