How far did I travel this week?:

For my winter break, I traveled from Khovd to Ulaanbaatar, which are nearly 914 miles apart!

How far have I traveled on this journey so far?:

I’m spending one year in Khovd, Mongolia, so while I may take some trips to other parts of the country, most of my time will be spent in Khovd!

How did I get around this week?:

By walking and ninja taxi! It’s a good way to get around, and helps me build up my Mongolian language skills!

What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

Sukhbaatar Square is always really interesting! It’s the main square and a famous tourist destination. This week, there’s lots of gers (nomadic tents) set up in the square, so that protestors against government corruption can stay warm in cold weather.

I was really excited to see my Mongolian host sister this week! We haven't seen each other in 5 years, so it was so nice to catch up!
