Living With Mongolian Nomads | Best Job Ever

What's it like to live among Mongolian nomads when you've spent most of your life in New York City? As host of the National Geographic Channel show Bridge the Gap: Mongolia, Chris Bashinelli is on a quest to find out. During his one-month, thousand-mile journey across Mongolia, the National Geographic grantee hoped to learn how nomadic culture is adapting to an ever changing and modernizing world. "Mongolia is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, nomadic cultures on Earth. The idea of a nomad is changing by the minute and might be completely different in ten or twenty years from now, if it even still exists," he says. #BestJobEver

Today my French class watched a presentation for a program that sends high schoolers all over the world to live with host families for a summer. As the man was going through the slides he mentioned being in Mongolia and being able to turn a full circle and see the horizon everywhere. I have been wanting to travel to an area where there are hardly any trees and seeing the earths landscape can make you feel so small and in awe. I told my friend how I wanted to go to Mongolia to see the landscape and she said "did you know their whole culture is basically centered around horses?" Which made the whole trip even more desirable as I have loved horses my whole life and have ridden for almost half of it.

Ah the legacy of the strongest empires in human history.

theres hells angels nomads u dont need to be a mongol nomad

[@BluJean6692]

+Stephan Halloun I think I see your point but the key difference is that the angels rely on paved roads, gasoline, and engines that simply could not have been manufactured or maintained without sedentary rather than nomadic civilization.
On the other hand there's a long history of mongolian co-dependent trade with chinese cityfolk (for luxury items specific crafts and iron), but if those cities and technologies had vanished somehow they might've lived on the same way.

[@humanfilth7331]
