This trip was truly everything! 🐎🤍 From it being my first time traveling outside of the U.S. to meeting the most wonderful women in a country where life seems to slow down, this was such a special experience. Everything was planned out so thoughtfully and perfectly. I felt incredibly safe throughout the entire trip, and the families we stayed with were so welcoming, kind, and accommodating. Staying in yurts and getting to experience horse trekking were definitely some of my favorite parts! And the food was actually pretty good for Mongolia! 😂 Overall, this was such a well-planned and unforgettable trip. I’m so grateful for the experience and the amazing people I met along the way! 🇲🇳✨

Your parents will say it's a scam and question if this is real. It is real and it is granola. This trip has pushed me and grown me mind body and soul. I've met lifelong friends on this trip and have gotten so close so fast and love these people so much. I've had so many firsts this trip and trying new things and challenging myself by visiting another country. I recommend this to anyone who is remotely curious about travel and is worried about the solo travel experience. Anyone who has an open mind and wants to make friends for life. Anyone who wants a real and raw experience.

The best trip with the best people I could ever ask for. So many unforgettable memories and so many new friends. Riding horses, meeting Mongolian families, eating traditional food, sleeping in traditional yurts — everything was perfect. Thank you, Talia and GoGranola, for this unforgettable adventure.

You never know what you are capable of until you try! Show yourself what you are capable of doing and get out of your comfort zone. I promise it will make you feel more human. The worst that can happen is you make a bunch of life long friends from all around the world that you must go visit again one day! I have done group trips and traveled solo before and this has been the best way I have traveled. The connections you make and the local people you meet are out of this world. This is real travel, not just tourism. You won’t regret becoming a granola girl (or guy)!

This trip was life changing and unforgettable. I got the opportunity to ride horses for the first time ever, connect with local host families and experience Mongolian culture in an authentic light, and most importantly meet some amazing likeminded people that I am lucky to now call my friends. Experiencing something so far out of my comfort zone pushed me into new levels of self discovery that were worth the money a million times over. This was the trip of a lifetime and I have so much gratitude for Talia and the teams she collaborated with to make this trip a possibility. I felt cared about, seen, and understood the whole time. I was given lots of reassurance and support from the guides as they know that trips like these can be overwhelming for less experienced travelers such as myself. These are the things that really count in my opinion. I’d highly recommend this trip to absolutely anyone looking to get out of their comfort zone and see the world. The untouched nature in Mongolia is breathtaking and it is truly a once in a lifetime honor to have gotten to see it in such a magical way. 5 stars. No notes.
