Résumé :
Mongolia is an unspoiled wonder, a land where sand dunes sing, horses roam wild and nomadic herders greet strangers open doors. Keep your itinerary loose and expect the unexpected." Michael Nohn, Lonely Planet Writer

Biographie:
Michael Kohn : Coordinating author. Michael first visited Mongolia in 1997. The first years were spent working as a reporter and editor for the Mongol Messenger newspaper. During that period, he interviewed the president, played a lead role in a Mongolien film, hosted a radio talk show and had a brief stint as a news presenter for a local TV station. His travels have led him to all 21 aimags, occasionally by bicycle or in the back of trucks, and when he is lucky by Hummer with politiciens and diplomats. Michael's articles on Mongolian culture, politics and history have appeared in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and San Francisco Chronicle. He is also the author of two books. Dateline Mongolia and Lama of the Gobi. He splits his time between Ulaanbaatar and California. Dean Starnes : Dean has travelled extensively throughout central and northeast Asia, but it wasn't until 2005 while researching his book Roam : the Art of Travel that he finally made it to Mongolia. That trip, which involved several near-death experiences and a growing dependency on vodka, confirmed his belief that Mongolia remains one of the best places on earth to experience genuine adventure. This trip, however, may have been his last. A shaman he met in Olgii foretold that he would return to New Zealand and father four children. Until then, Dean is happy to spend his days writing for Lonely Planet, freelancing as a graphic designer and shirking responsibilities.
