A Real Parent's Story

The time my toddler tried to row us to Everest

She grabbed the oars with total conviction and spun us in circles for 20 minutes. We didn't get anywhere. Best 500 NPR I ever spent.

Read full story

We'd been in Pokhara for 3 days and our 3-year-old had developed an obsession with the boats on Phewa Lake. We finally rented one and she insisted on rowing. The moment she grabbed the oars, she had this look of serious determination. We spent 20 minutes going in tight circles while she grunted with effort. A Nepali family in a nearby boat was laughing so hard they almost capsized. One of those perfect travel moments that costs almost nothing.
