In Mongolia, horses and herds aren't fenced, houses and yards are fenced. This is the opposite of how we fence things off in America, and it made me wonder, how far-reaching does this difference in mindset and language go? And could there be story fodder there?

In this episode, I discuss food facts, Chingiss Kahn facts, and camel facts from Mongolia.

Check out photos from my trip at my Instagram page and some on my website.
