Mongolia, nestled in between China and Russia with no outlet to the sea, is a land for Wayfaring. My plan is to go up to the Terej National park 65Km outside of Ulaanbaatar for my birthday and then strike out west. “Man, it is the wild west out there, there are wolves and everything,” a long haired and bearded Belgian traveller told me with starry eyes a couple of days ago.
