Back to The "just with locals" trip - Mongolian chapter

Less is more

What I most liked about Mongolia was its 'emptiness'. This huge plain land, with no trees, no shade, no relief, no people, no urbanization... just the horizon all around. All this so-called emptiness was the most comforting feeling of all, giving space to see further away, go beyond, and being part of a bigger picture.

We are a French couple, traveling from home to the East. We would like to show that generosity and solidarity still exist everywhere, regardless of language, culture, and borders. The rules for this adventure are 1. only local transport allowed (no flights, no car rentals.. just bus, train, hitchhike), 2. only sleeping at local homes ( we couch surf, we help exchange... no hotels at all), 3. Eat local (avoid processed, industrial, imported food). You can support us following our adventures, buying the photos of our highlighted moments and soon to come: reading our book (still on progress as is our trip). We welcome you on our adventure.
