It took me a couple of days after arriving in Mongolia to 'get in the groove' and get China out of my mind, but I really enjoyed specific moments. It would be unfair to compare the two experiences. I went to Mongolia to get as far away from everything, and the trip afforded me the chance for self-reflection in solitude. In China 'people interaction' was what I enjoyed the most, albeit unexpected, and through these interactions I had the opportunity to re-evaluate how I view the world.

One of the lessons I learned on the trip is that people make a place special, and home is the most special place because family and friends. I hope you enjoyed reading about my experience, and I hope it inspires you to go on your own journey.

It was a wonderful experience, and it's good to be home!

Here is the link to some of the photos from each place I visited. Enjoy!
