#1 Travel Mongolia

Today we start in Mongolia with @silbart, who provides a detailed review of this interesting country through an expat's eyes. He talks about the warmness of the people, the traditions, cities, natural landscapes, and various festivals and seasons. His post is also full of stunning, original photos that highlight the beauty and uniqueness of this less travelled nation.

#2 Komodo dragons, Flores islands, Indonesia

Next @wanderlass takes us to the Flores islands of Indonesia to see Komodo dragons. She provides some practical information about staying on Kanawa Island and organising a tour. Then she takes us to Rinca and Komodo islands to learn more about, and see the dragons up close. But that is not all there is to do there. Snorkelling and diving side trips are also popular for those who'd prefer to be in the water than surrounded by giant lizards.

#3 At-Tirmizi Mausoleum, Termez, Uzbekistan

Finally, we head to Termez, Uzbekistan to visit the fascinating At-Tirmizi Mausoleum with @damm-steemit. He provides us with some contextual information on who Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Ali al-Tirmidhi was and how the mausoleum came to be. In 1990, restoration works were carried out under the auspices of UNESCO. This culturally important, historical site is not only home to the mausoleum, but caves containing medieval ascetics, a museum, a mosque, and a park.
