How do you earn the right to list “Adventurer” as your occupation? Ride a bicycle 10,000km across Russia? Row a wooden boat to the Arctic Ocean? Or maybe spend 3 ½ years riding from Mongolia to Hungary on horseback?
Tim Cope has done all three, and has written and filmed his epic adventures. His best known book is On the Trail of Genghis Khan: An Epic Journey Through the Land of the Nomads, and he talks about Mongolia, a land where there are no fences, where people invite strangers into their homes, and hospitality is the rule, not the exception.
“In truth, by the time I arrived in Mongolia, I’d only been on a horse in five days,” Tim admits. “But I learned to ride horses amongst nomadic people of Mongolia and Kazakhstan.” See timcopejourneys.com
Also this week, a look at the disruptions in the aviation industry – the good (Nauru Airlines, Qantas) and bad (Bonza, Vanuatu) – and how you can get your Australian passport faster, and cheaper. You can thank us later!
