« Two weeks in the Kathmandu Valley

At home

By Scott Wallick | Published: Dec 17, 2009
Volunteers pitched in and kept shared flats in Kathmandu, like the Spice Deraa. In 2003, they were closed.

The idea that with pooled money, volunteers could rent shared a deraa in Kathmandu, was popular. Instead of staying in a hotel and dragging clothes back and forth, you sort of had a place of your own. I was part of the ‘Spice’ deraa. Peace Corps forced volunteers to close these at the end of 2003 for security reasons.
