As the country with just as many horses as citizens, Mongolia is a place with a strong equestrian tradition. For Mongolians riding a horse is as popular as riding a bike in the Western world.

One of the oldest countries in Europe, Portugal is a nation rich in history, excellent cuisine, and stunning beaches. As it is home to some of the biggest (and best) waves in the world, surfing enthusiasts may already be quite familiar with this beautiful country.
