Go to Iceland, he said. I've been there. Go to Mongolia. Hmmm... I had just seen a film about a white camel, and the landscapes were fascinating. A week later a friend showed photos of her cross Siberia train ride that included visiting Mongolia. Three's a charm, now I had to go.

I spent the next year learning to ride a horse. If you visit Mongolia you just absolutely have to gallop across the steppe on a Mongolian pony. The first part of my Mongolian journey included a 120 kilometer trek through the Altai mountains.
