Volunteering at Stepperiders in Mongolia
Who would have thought that I would end up volunteering and riding in Mongolia this year? Probably no one, including myself! But sometimes one little thing adds to another, and what had been just a dream becomes true! Lucky me … Continue reading
A house in no time
