By Evan Kleiman • • 1 min readIn March of 2007, writer Mark Schatzker began traveling around the world the slow way. The rules of his trip: he can take any form of transportation he chooses, as long as it’s not a plane or a helicopter. And there’s one catch: he must complete his circumnavigation in 80 days. Welcome to Slow Travel, the idea that a journey isn’t about going from A to B, but is about savoring – seeing, smelling, feeling, and tasting - every point in between. Mark has driven across the USA on the 40th anniversary of Kerouac’s infamous crossing, traveled the Pacific Ocean on a cruise liner, walked the Great Wall of China, ridden a horse through Mongolia and taken theTrans-Mongolian Train to Moscow. Mark checks-in and reflects on his journey through Mongolia -- from the culture of the nomadic people to the food he shared during his travels with them.
