If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing a snow leopard in the wild and you’re wondering if you should go with David to Mongolia, the answer is YES. You should absolutely go. I had seen videos of previous expeditions, so I knew what to expect. But it doesn’t compare to experiencing it yourself. Mongolia in winter is almost otherworldly. The vast, rolling steppe, endless sky, and rugged mountains are hard to describe in words. It is, without exaggeration, one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. It was also the coldest place I’d ever experienced. Temperatures dropped as low as –35°C during our stay. While living in traditional gers was an incredible cultural experience, stepping out into the pre-dawn cold to use a pit toilet is something you don’t soon forget.But it’s all worth it for the chance to see a snow leopard. It’s never guaranteed, but it did happen for our group--who were some of the most talented, kind, and genuinely supportive people I’ve met. Although this trip tested me, it was surprisingly easy to spend the long, cold days with such a wonderful group of people, and there was always plenty of good food and lots of laughter to keep us going. For me, this trip was humbling and at times physically challenging. But it was also easily one of my most favorite experiences. If you have the chance to go on any of David’s adventures, don’t hesitate. You’ll thank yourself later.
