OMG! The Mongol Rally Sounds AMAZING! Who’s up for it?

February 1, 2021 / / 0 Comments

I was catching up on a few YouTube videos over the weekend, and stumbled across an interview Nora from the channel “The Professional Hobo” (a channel I’m subbed to), who talks about travelling and adventures full time.

This weekend’s release was an interview with Dave & Deb from The Planet D (a channel I’d never heard of before). However, I watched anyway as I always enjoy listening to others experiences – learning tips and ideas etc.

Which compared to other areas of the United Kingdom who are limited to an hour exercise per day, I am truly grateful for.
