What a way to kick off the new year! I am producing a few short international documentaries at work and was sent to Mongolia and then England for some of the shoots in a crazy adventure that led me around the world. It was an incredible experience - I can't believe I almost didn't go out of fear. It was a long plane flights, unbelievably cold (in the negatives every day) and I had no idea if my stomach would be able to handle the food. But I'm so glad I went. Mongolia was incredibly foreign - like a Soviet Asia - but such warm people and a place to marvel. And it reminded me that I'm
fearless. I needed that. And then the English countryside was so beautiful and I even got to see some dear friends who live there. All in all, pretty amazing. Check out some photos:
