Description
Hi everybody!
My name is Saraa and I'm running a guesthouse in Murun. Murun is in the North of Mongolia in the Khuvsgul province near the Khuvsgul Lake. I have already over 15 years experience with tourists and travellers as a guide or another things. I'm also running a small non-goverment-organisation (NGO) since 2008 and I'm also a part of a „womens group“. I thought a second in my guesthouse or community could be nice. Here are lot of things to do. Actually I have a small house near the river and I would love to build a garden there too. The neighbors around the guesthouse come in and out and even with their kids. We all working together and whenever and whereever someone needs help we or you will help there.
So welome in mongolia and enjoy !Types of help and learning opportunities

I will teach you everything you want to know about the Mongolian culture. You would get deeply in touch with our community. I will teach you to cook really good food and also we would teach you do produce some self-made-products like shoes and other thing.
