I didn’t really have a good answer for why I booked a trip to Mongolia.
I loved the idea of visiting the quieter neighbour of Russia and China. Other than that, it was just somewhere that sounded different, interesting and a bit ‘weird’ (hopefully all words used to describe me at some point too).
As soon as I landed, I knew I was in for a fun few weeks. My driver let me know that road maintenance would turn our usual hour-long drive into a 2.5-hour drive. I took this as a chance to practice my best “gazing out a train window in a movie” face, and I think I perfected it over the rest of my trip.
Now, I could run you through the places I visited and the sights I saw, but I’d much rather tell you about the little things.
The way Mongolian people spend their time is so fun! Our guide taught us games to play with sheep knucklebones, including a horse-racing game and fortune-telling (and yes, I found a set to bring home so I can check my fortune regularly).
While we were in Ulaan Baatar, there was a free opera performance, and that same night, a heavy metal concert. The band are called “The Hu”. If you’re keen to check them out, make sure the other “The Who” don’t sneak their way into your playlist. 😉
Drivers in Mongolia are incredibly safe, but most of the country doesn’t have traditional roads, so vehicles take a beating. Breakdowns happen somewhat frequently, but the amazing thing is that everybody is willing to help each other.
When our vehicle needed maintenance, another driver stopped to get us back up and running.
The food variety surprised me in the best way. Roadside picnic lunches, fresh veggies, and decent drink choices were available at most ger camps. My personal highlight was khuushuur, a Mongolian dumpling.
If you get the chance to visit Mongolia, you’ll leave raving about the people, the amazing views and the sense of peace that comes from being so far off the grid that you can see every star in the sky with your brand-new besties.

We're not talking about the fridge magnet or the snow globes (both are cute, though).
We're thinking something like that ceramic bowl that was just sitting there and somehow ended up in your carry-on. Or the piece of fabric you've either woven or hand-stitched in a foreign country, and then moved it three times around your home before landing at the right place.
The best souvenirs always have a story attached to them and we'd like to know yours.
How has travelling changed what's on your shelves, your walls and your kitchen bench?
Drop it in the comments!
For 14 days, our Patchies said yes to the things that usually get a "maybe later."
They tried recipes from countries on their bucket lists and got handy with crocheting, quilting, painting, gardening, and more. Some started conversations with strangers while others learned foreign phrases.
The results?
Messy kitchens, impressive embroidery and two women who met online and ended up at a café together.
That's a Patchie for you.
The next adventure is on its way, so follow along and we'll let you know when doors open. Or if a trip is already calling your name, the link in our bio is a good place to start.
It’s easy to walk straight past the sign, but not for Patchies.
They stop, read it twice and then pull out their phone to capture the moment. Sometimes this happens mid-conversation, sometimes mid-bite, but one thing’s for sure:
Patchies have a gift for noticing things others often miss. 🐣
Consider these your Easter eggs. Hidden in trip photos across the world and captured somewhere between a laugh and a "wait, did you see that?"
Swipe through and drop your favourite in the comments or share a photo of a fun moment you captured on your recent trip to add to our collection. 😉
Today, we're announcing our most ambitious trip yet.
The views? Sunrise and sunset every 90 minutes.
The luggage allowance? One outfit.
Our "20-Day (But Mostly Nights) Sea of Tranquility" adventure is now open for bookings, but transmission closes at midday today.
Comment below if you want in. Be quick, as we're not joking.*
*We're joking. Happy April Fool's Day, Patchies😉
When was the last time you said yes to something that scared you a little?
Not ‘jump out of a plane' scary. More like ‘try that weird food’ or ‘talk to that stranger ’ scary.
The kind of yes that makes travel so special.
We're bringing that feeling home with our 14-Day "Say Yes to Adventure" Challenge.
Starting March 23, choose from 30+ mini-adventures:
Try something from another culture.
Explore your neighbourhood like a tourist.
Do the creative thing before overthinking it.
Say yes more than you say no.
Share your journey with other Patchies in our private WhatsApp community and cheer each other on.
Plus, you could win travel gear, action cameras, spa vouchers, and some surprise prizes we're not telling you about yet. 👀
You don't need a plane ticket to feel adventurous. You just need to say yes.

These are the countries where some of our favourite Patchie moments happened!
Do you plan to tick some of these in 2027?🤔
Let's play a fun little game.🎲
Our lovely BMs, Claire, Courtney, Tegan and Mandy shared their favourite moments from our 2027 trips.
Can you tell which countries they highlighted just by the quotes?
Have a guess and pop you answers in the comments.👇
There’s one thing no one tells you about Holi.
You arrive in white, but leave as a walking rainbow who just had the best day of the trip. 😄
Our Patchies start the day with a local family who shows them the ropes (and maybe slips some insider tips on dodging the water balloons 😉).
Then they hit the streets for the public celebration before heading to a private party where things get really festive.
By the end, they are drenched in colour, dancing to music with lyrics you don’t need to understand to have a blast, and laughing with people they met just hours ago.
The photos don’t even do it justice.
And yes, we’re going back to India for Holi in 2027.
