Travelling to Mongolia? So am I!

You may know that I spent some time in Mongolia as a child. Now, 20 years on, I’ve headed back to the land I only semi-remember. It’s not a place that many people visit – I’ve only met a handful of people in my life who have actually been there – but it’s pretty incredible nonetheless.

While the country has changed a lot in the past 2 decades – as one would expect – there’s a lot to see and do, with some incredible cultural and historical activities to check out.
