Our Journey Out-West

Don’t miss this very special episode in which we hit the road, destination: Gobi Altai. Gab takes a small team in a big car on a journey around the Mongolian countryside. You won’t be able to stop laughing when you see how horribly lost they get, somewhere in the middle of nowhere. But don’t worry, they eventually found the right way! So, join Gab this week to experience the beauty and wonder of Mongolia’s amazing landscapes. We visit Khorgo Volcano, skate on the Great Lake, relax at some natural hot springs and slide down sand dunes. We stop for a day exploring Ulaistai and visit a school there. We chat with some talented young students and they share their favourite things about their town. Gabi even manages to fit in spot of shopping at the local markets. Be sure to watch this special road-tripping episode- it sure is a lot of fun!
