28 Lessons in 28 Days: What I Learned from Living in Rural Kenya

After the rain, Kima, Kenya
  • Highlight of #Ulaanbaatar: taking in performances by Tumen Ekh National Song and Dance Ensemble including throat-singing, horse-head fiddle playing, and traditional dances like the "Tsam" ritual mask dance. What a magical night✨
  • I used to be a ranger. I lived in Ulaanbaatar for two years to study, while working as a plumber. In the city, you cannot own anything and you work just to pay the bills. Electricity, water, food. And you're stuck in a tiny apartment. Out here I can live off the land with fresh clean air, I'm free to go anywhere, and I have everything I need to survive. Even though I want my son to get a good education in the city, I hope he becomes a herder too. Like me.
  • Today is the Autumnal Equinox, which marks the beginning of fall: the season of breathtaking scenery as mountains, valleys, and even city streets are painted with brilliant gold and copper. How many trips have you got planned for autumn?
  • Getting an early start on Seoraksan. There are shelters on the mountain so you can pack light and sleep overnight! 📲 Roamscapes.com/explore/korea for my full guide.
  • I can't afford Paris, so this will have to do. Bedazzled by the Sands Macao resort and my Lyon Suite...
  • The Bow. Pretty much sums up my feelings about Calgary: FREAKIN' WEIRD.
  • Gwangjang Market (formerly Dongdaemun Market) is one of the oldest and largest traditional markets in South Korea with shops open through the night. Wandering around at dinnertime I found hungry patrons on the perimeters of the food stalls, eye-to-eye with piles of japchae, kimbap, soondae, and bindaetteok. The cooks chopped and stirred and ladled, stern-faced even as they prattled with their neighbors over the noise. But they would allow themselves the slightest smile whenever someone exclaimed: this is good. * Thanks @fotomaniac for the amazing edit!
  • African Elephant, spotted on safari in #Kenya. Please, don't let these magnificent creatures become tuskless!
