Teach English in the Khuvsgul Aimag, Mongolia

I stayed with Baigalmaa's family for around two weeks. It was memorable and so special to learn about Mongolian culture in a tight-knit family. Baigalmaa is a kind-hearted, passionate and independent woman who looks after everyone in the family. I also spent a lot of time with her mom, sister, son and nieces who always made me feel at home. I… read more never felt left out as I joined them in their Mongolian celebration of White Month. I spent most afternoons teaching her student who aspires to be an English teacher when she grows up. I also followed Baigalmaa to her school and taught a few English classes.

On the last day, Baigalmaa showed me to the beautiful Khovsgul Lake where we took many beautiful pictures of the frozen lake and the surreal landscape.

I was deeply touched by their hospitality and generosity. I hope to come back in the future. I wish the family all the best!

It was my fourth experience with workaway, and still amazing discovery. The host is a typical mongolia family, so is very good if you want to have that experience (food, sleep etc...). The volunteering with the children was so wonderful. Teaching english and dance during 2 weeks in the school in Moron was one of my bests experiences in my young… read more life !
See you everyone in Moron !

Baigalmaa was very kind. I stayed in her home for seven weeks. I worked at her school with her and the kids were great. I enjoyed being in Moron and working with the kids. Baigailmaa’s place was very rustic and full of life. Contact me if you want to know more.

Baiga is a wonderful person! There are so much to say about her. She picked me and my friend up at the Murun bus station and took us to her house. She welcomed us with Mongolian milk tea and a very nice vegetarian food as we were both vegetarian. I was the only workaway volunteer but she kindly let my friend who wanted to visit Murun and Khuvsgul… read more lake join us for the following few days. Baiga helped us get to Hatgal and Khuvsgul Lake. We had great time staying in gur and walking around the lake. Baiga is such a warm hearted person and sweet heart. We talked many things in life and I cherish times with her. She became my best friend.

After the trip to Khusvgul lake, my friend left and I stayed Baiga’s house for two weeks. Her mom and her son (Bata) welcomed me and treated me like a family. Baiga and I cooked together. She taught me Mongolian fried pan and dumpling. Bata invited me fishing by the river. I enjoyed playing with Bata. Baiga’s house is located by the river sounded by beautiful nature. In the morning, you see cows and horses. At night you can see so many stars. One day, we climbed a flag mountain. Baiga packed fruits and yogurt we enjoyed at the top. You will see colorful houses in Murun.
The school was on summer break but I learned Mongolian culture and the way of living which I could not have seen without Baiga. Baiga has a passion about teaching English and she also is a great tour guide. She is experienced and students absolutely love her.

Baiga’s family cared about me, making sure I ate foods or I was able to sleep. Even though, I cannot speak Mongolian, I felt their generosity and hospitality.

Once you get to know Baiga, you will create a bond and she will be your best friend. You will have great memory which will be the precious thing you carry with you in life. Come to Murun and meet Baiga!

Баярлалаа, Baiga, ээж and Bata!

I stayed for about a week with Baigalmaa at her wooden house which was really nice. Baigalmaa is a very carying woman who helped me with everything.
We even went to Khuvsgul lake for 2 nights to visit the national park.
Thank you very much for everything:relaxed:

I stayed with Baigalmaa and Otgoo in Murun for a total of four weeks. That I'm thinking about my wonderful time in Mongolia every day of the two weeks since I'm back home, says everything! :-)
I stayed with Otgoo, her husband and her two sons in the apartment most of the time and also visited Baigalmaa in her wooden house. It was such a pleasure… read more to get to know Baigalmaa, she's such a hard working person - always has to have something to do or work on and still finds time to care for you and all you need. Otgoo always cooked vegetarian for me. Do you need more prove of ehospitality in a country that has meat as its main food? :-)
Whereever you go, whoever you visit: You will always find a cup of tea in your hand and a selection of biscuits.
It was a pleasure to help out in Baigalmaas school: Both teachers and students were so willing to learn English in the English Club Baigalmaa created. But the best experience was doubtless my one-week-stay in a ger in the contryside approximately one hour from Murun with Otgoos brother. Every morning and evening I had to herd the sheeps up and down the mountain. I'm sooo thankful that I had the opportunity to get to know life without ecletrcity, flowing water, internet, shower and real toilet!! I will come back, sometime, promised!!! :-)
But until then, I wish Baigalmaa and Otgoo much more volunteers to see the beauty of their country and mentality!
