Most underrated tourist destinations in the world
Here are some underrated travel destinations around the world that deserve more attention: 1.) Mongolia: Known for its traditional gers (yurts), friendly nomadic people, and herds of wild horses across untouched steppes, Mongolia offers a unique experience. With a new international airport and affordable local-led tours, this seemingly far-flung country is more accessible than you might expect. Explore the capital, Ulaanbaatar, and then venture into the picture-perfect ranges and fresh mountain air of Gorkhi Terelj National Park. Spending a night under the stars in your own ger is an unforgettable experience.

As a countermeasure, AFE books comedians, country musicians, MMA exhibitions, et al, to enliven their spirits.

An earlier flight was more economical. And so there she would be hanging out at an airport in Jordan, waiting in faith for her daughter’s safe and timely arrival.
