It has been a long journey, both literally and figuratively, to get to this point in my studies.
The last part of my journey through all the Radboud Universiteit has to offer has been the
most rewarding. With help from the university I travelled to Mongolia to do the fieldwork
necessary for my master thesis. The journey itself was full of challenges. I lived on my own in
a foreign country for the first time in my life. I have seen the beauty that Mongolia has to
offer, I have met the friendliest people I could have hoped for and still there were times
when I felt alone. It is extremely hard to through such wonderful and terrifying experiences
without someone there to share them with. It was not a bad experience in any way. In fact it
has honestly been the most wonderful experience of my life to survive on my own in such a
different country. I have a lot of people to thank who helped me in preparation, during my
time in Mongolia and afterwards when writing this thesis.
