I read Where the Pavement Ends by Erika Warmbrunn about 10 years ago. This is a chronicle of her solo bicycle trip through Mongolian, China and Vietnam. The best part of the book was the Mongolian section where she describes many of the welcoming traditions and rules of etiquette mentioned in your podcast.
Thank you for immersing us into Mongolia; can´t wait to start reading your selections. And as I´m going on a four-day hiking trip next week, the link about "How to survive without a cell phone signal" was really helpful. Great post as always; thank you!
Thank you! I´d join you any time; did a road trip through Mongolia in 2006, and it was as breathtaking as you described. Your books will deepen the experience, and it would be great to go again!
I don't think I knew you'd been in Mongolia. Did you drink salty tea? Or the fermented mare's milk? I think you would enjoy 'When I'm Gone, Look for Me in the East.' It was so lovely and surprising.

Oooh, thank you for adding another book to our list. As you could probably tell, I am very into the whole ger situation.
Always love your posts. So fun and informative.
YAY! So glad you're enjoying them. Thank you for letting me know! :-)

Still daydreaming about taking one of those Atlas Obscura trips to Mongolia. I just feel like the air would be so fresh! And that scenery!
Happy hiking! I hope you have a fantastic time (and don't need to use any of those tips from the article ;-)

I drank both! And I went horse riding ... Such a stunning country! I will start with "When I´m Gone", as it does sound lovely. Thanks!
