This is 100% my CRAZIEST adventure ever. Almost didn't make it 😬
Guys, Mongolia is no joke. The country of horses and horsemen, this is where you come for your ultimate trekking opportunities. I decided to set off completely alone - well, with two horses - and head into the wilderness. This is probably my most personal vlog ever..!
Keep in mind this was filmed pre-pandemic times, in summer 2019.

I am an ordinary Mongolian girl living in the city. I learned to ride a horse a month ago. The meaning of being a Mongolian is to ride a horse. I would be hesitant to go alone in my homeland. Traveling alone in the Mongolian steppe for a week is a lot of patience and courage. Thank you for having unforgettable memories of your life in Mongolia.

[@Travelingman-1980]

Correct most young Mongols are now UB city dwellers, unlike their parents or grandparents, hence your apprehension of being in the countryside. The only travel to the countryside young Mongols do today is to their family summer house, a new phenomenon which started in the mid 2000's. Before the 2000's, the young Mongolians spent all summer in the countryside with either their parents or grandparents. It time for the young Mongolians to get reattached to their land and prevent the myth by word only, the countryside is their soul. Mining, I am afraid has screwed the Mongolian countryside for good.

Sometimes when you go on an adventure it's not the one you want, it's the one you need. You said you were going through a bad break up. This trip challenged you, brought you to a breaking point, and you pushed through it. Walking 20k at the end is no joke, and that takes guts and will. No doubt you came out of this stronger. Thank you for sharing your story. I spent a few years in the military and when we did long marches you always got lost in your own thoughts, no distractions just pushing through the pain and thinking about everything. You spoke about that beautifully at the end.

It is so refreshing to see a video about someone failing. And I don’t mean that negatively. I actively praise it. Life is not 100% perfection. Things go wrong. Plans have to be changed. A different road taken. Life is hard, often painfully so, either physically, mentally, or emotionally. But in this Instagram homogenous world we’re increasingly living in, failure has become a dirty word. And it shouldn’t be. Like the saying goes, you can’t make an omelette without breaking some eggs first. Thank you for sharing this 🙏🏻

Having done numerous solo treks (either back packing, or motorcycling camping) throughout the US, or Canada, I can relate to the solitude. Although it was nothing like what you experienced in Mongolia! Such courage! Being alone for weeks at a time, and overcoming any setbacks alone, will teach you much about yourself. (Although I would recommend a helmet. It's saved my head several times). As I watched this, the phrase that popped into my head was 'What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger'. You have grown in both courage and self worth. Wonderful vids Eva. Keep them coming. And be safe.

@@RonaldinhoNZ. Could be, but I think you are confusing "drama" with "cinematic" but I do get your point.

The nature is untouched by humans but be careful of weather. Our weather is treacherous and wind is strong especially if you are riding on a horse on steppe. It can be very hot in 12pm and can get cold and chilly at night as well. You must at least bring one local companion, preferably a tourist guide, with you. Mongolia is very big and the most sparsely populated country. You can go miles and miles without seeing anyone. Good luck.

[@johnster02]

it’s all outdoors and undeveloped country so you are your own safety. watch for rapes and attackers. also learn some basic survival tips for the outdoors. you could also do this in another country too that has more police presence in it. and the language barrier. it’s difficult. best of luck. and she was with a guy so, that’s some safety alone

One of the funniest ironies for me about watching these videos by Eva, is that even though it's so open about the challenges and frustration she experiences on her journeys, the excitement and adventure is so constantly evident, one struggles to understand the difficulty she experiences while watching the video.

I still find her very brave, lonely travelling is risky. If you travel with at least a second person you always know they might try to help you (give you the first aid and etc.).

As a Mongolian, i don't think women should be encouraged to travel alone in the steppe. You will more likely encounter pesky wolves instead of horny men. Wolves are much smarter than dogs and can tell apart men from women, young from old. Besides physical dangers, there are also paranormal zones where horse stops for no apparent reason, ears buzzing or feeling of being watched etc. EDIT: Polish woman has been travelling alone for so long...meanwhile two Scandinavian feminists got beheaded shortly after arrival. If you are a feminist from western or "progressive" society, better not travel alone abroad. Your frequency will attract violence.

[@helinabdullah1409]

“This showed me how insignificant my ego was.” Eva, I have been following your journey for a while now and you are truly truly inspiring. You always go deeper than the surface, and somehow make me feel a unique connection with everywhere you go, and everyone you meet along the way. But this journey my friend, regardless of how spectacular Mother Nature looks, sounds more like a journey into your own self, facing your fears and thoughts, facing YOU in its essence. That’s why it’s so vulnerable, so raw, so ... you. Just like the horses, free in your soul and not bound to the earth by any earthly -worldly- feeling, ego, insecurities, negativities... and those are the moments bringing us to our senses and reminding us of our actual purpose in this life. Although we may not be nearly as adventurous as you are, brave girl, we all need to experience this moment of solitude at least once in our lifetime, even if it’s not in the vast fields of Mongolia, accompanied by horses that are boundless to this earth. Much much love and respect for you.❤️

@@lu.dulguun3951 I'm a Crimean Tatar from Russia, and I'm fascinated by the Mongol history and culture. This started as a small interest which was piqued by the fact that the Mongol Empire is mistakenly called the "Tataro-Mongols" here (long story short, a historian made this term up and sadly it's stuck, even though it's wildly incorrect), and I researched both my cultural background and the Mongolian history just to be sure where I belong in this world and what my ethnicity is.

13:35- the sheer amount of setup it took just to get all of those different shots/angles of peeling garlic and carrots gives a small glimpse into just how much work it takes to create these serene travel docs. The end viewer gets to experience a lovely storytelling experience on film of being away from it all, blissfully at peace, but behind the scenes this was a work trip, through and through, and a lot of work at that. It boggles the mind considering how much film was shot, watched and rewatched, edited. What a gem

[@Travelingman-1980]

Yeah, all bullshit she did this alone.

[@AbroadonaBudget]

@@Travelingman-1980 I don't think she's lying about doing it alone, but I also think that it was basically non-stop work as a creator, not an escape as a traveler (neither is better or worse, but they are quite different). It's a serene and beautiful escape for the viewer as a result, but for the creator, as I do believe her when she says she was alone, it must have been just constantly setting up shots, action, setting up another shot, repeat the same action from that angle, mic everything, drone shot, etc. And that's before what was probably editing hours the reached into the high double digits. It's interesting how in some ways, we who didn't even get to take the trip have had a more serene and peaceful experience of this time than the creator as a result. I often feel this way about solo content creation in the "alone in nature" category of KZbin. There is a girl who makes lovely videos of extended hiking in the mountains, but all I think after every shot of her walking into the distance is how she has to walk all the way back for the camera. I admire the cinematography/editing, and as a consumer I appreciate the beauty and the mood it imparts, and of course the talent is unmistakable and the quality top notch, but it is a strange feeling of the atmosphere of escape being created post-edit, and only for the viewer. Anyway, this was long as hell, but I hope you get my drift.

Making horses travel long distance and holding a lot of weight is animal cruelty and is selfish and mean!! Nothing amazing about it!!!

[@goaticorn8702]

@@zeekly614m7 So, I totally understand what you're saying here. Yeah, recent science has made us aware that there are often negative impacts associated with riding/using them as beasts of burden/bits/etc. There's a lot of ways you can minimize those impacts like using proper padding, saddle fit, etc. We, in "the west" (I assume you are from a "western" culture though please, forgive me if I'm incorrect. My apologies.), might not do a lot of the things you see here because we view them as negative or think it cruel....but we also lock horses away in solitude, keep them in tiny little boxes, and give them a fraction of the exercise they really need in a day (These days). They're toys, accessories, or pets and their actual nature is often ignored by us even if they're, scientifically, pampered. They're not central to most of our lives anymore. In Mongolia, their culture revolves around horses. Horses are largely still central to who they are as people. Their horses often live in herds (as they would naturally), get plenty of exercise, are much loved, and cared for as well as possible by their owners. They may not be as fancy or tall as ours but they live much closer to their natural state. Both approaches have positives and negatives. You are totally entitled to your opinion (Regardless of whether you hate horse riding in general, the way the Mongolians care for them, or what this girl is doing). Its totally ok to point out the negatives you see here...But your comment, responding to someone from a (presumably) different country and culture from you, is rather rude and trolly especially since this person was leaving a positive comment. Just kinda unnecessary.. Your comment fails to even begin to understand, and find value in, a culture different from your own. Again, I totally understand where you're coming from but it just wasn't the right place or tone. I hope you have a good day though!

Zeekly614 M I used to ride horses and I stopped for the reasons you mentioned. However, I also did this exact same trip in Mongolia with some local guides. The reality is that many people in Mongolia and other parts of the world can not get around or eat without using animals. I, a vegetarian, saw this with my own eyes. Mongolia is incredibly beautiful but also expansive and many people live nowhere close to cities. There are no drivable roads in much of the country, and the growing season for plants is incredibly short.

I discovered you a few months ago and have been making my way through all of your videos. I am hooked. I have been riding my entire life. I dont even remember my first time horseback because I was so young. I have owned horses literally every hour of my life. It was brave that you did this on your own. It also takes incredible endurance to ride all day for more than a week. I have done it, but never all alone. As you found out, things can go crazy in a moment with these lovely creatures that have a mind of their own. You were very lucky, to have hit your head on a rock coming off a horse and to have not been worse injured. I am very glad you are ok. I took a bad fall 14 years ago and sustained a severe concussion that caused my memory to reset every 30 seconds for 3 hours. I remember asking what happened and what I had done that day trying to get my bearings. I dont remember that I asked that question repetitively for 3 hours. I did get back on and ride the horse home. But because of that, I will never attempt a long distance ride alone. And I now wear a helmet when I ride. Please be careful out there dear girl. I look forward to experiencing your next adventure.
