Floortje Dessing travels to the vast taiga of Mongolia. Here she stays for a few days with the 28 year old Mongolian Zaya, who grew up in the United States and moved back to Mongolia when she was 18. She fell in love with a reindeer herder and now leads a traditional nomadic life with her husband, his family and their reindeer. She lives in a tent and temperatures easily drop to -40 in winter: a life unlike her life in America. To get there, Floortje takes three days from Ulaanbaatar by train, car and reindeer.
