TUSHIG

PHOTOGRAPHY TOUR ASSISTANT & LOGISTIC MANAGER

I was born in Ulaanbaatar city the capital of Mongolia in 2000 and currently am studying Management Information System. Although my major is focused on an entirely different topic, my love for travel goes back to my early childhood. 
When I was little I really liked to spend summertime at my grandparent's summer house nearby the city but I always wanted to travel to the deep countryside with my family. That only happened when I went on a road trip during summer 2010. From that time my traveling journey has led me to wander across the country and even abroad. For example, I had the chance to fly to Europe with my mother to visit her siblings in the Czech Republic. From there, we took on a road trip to Hungary, that very first time the passion for traveling took seize of me. Since then, we planned to go on other adventures, regularly.

As I was graduating my high school, I enrolled to a major in a Taiwanese university, and during the summer vacation, I had a chance to travel through Taipei with my uncle. That time confirmed my need to discover more. When my parents got the chance to join the Smile Mongolia Club, where people unite around the philosophy of a healthy lifestyle and meditation, they engaged in traveling the entire country every year. And I was so inspired by their stories of our beautiful landscapes. I patiently waited for my opportunity to go on those trips. It finally came out last year’s summer 2020, joining a large group of like-minded people. At that time, little I knew that a trip to the countryside didn’t mean to relax as soon as reaching each destination. But this club’s trip was totally different and changed my perspectives about traveling. I have this faculty to learn quickly as I observe things.

I am mostly a self-taught person, considering the experiences I had. For example, when I went back to Taiwan the past autumn, I joined a Mongolian Students Association within my university. I volunteered to help them to design posters and graphics, although not knowing a thing about it. I learned to complete this overnight. As a result, my father gave me computer replacement parts and I built a new machine all by myself, for the first time. After coming back from Taiwan, I traveled with the Gobi Mountain Lake team to Western Mongolia. When I saw how beautiful the mountains and the hills I wanted to run freely and I felt that I was really at home. Western Mongolia is so unique, that even as Mongolians, we never get bored.
