Armed with a Lonely Planet guidebook, we travelled to the least populated country in the world.

We stepped out of our comfort zone and moved away from our usual travels.
Hitching long rides in the wilderness 

Camping for the first time in the steppes under the most stunning starry skies
Racing with kids on the vast grasslands

Moving through forests on horses and sand dunes on a camel
Spotting rare wild horses with Italians
Mongolia is remote but filled with warmth and kindness.  
Thank you to all the strangers who stopped and looked out for us.
