As a kid growing up in America, Matthew didn't feel like he "belonged" anywhere. Shy, introverted, and sometimes quite sensitive, Matthew had a hard time feeling at peace or at home wherever he went. Then, after graduating college, he moved across the Pacific to teach English in Mongolia, a country known for its nomadic huts (called "gets"), brutal winters, and beautiful steppes. It was there, surrounded by a culture and people totally different from his own, where he took one of the most important journeys of his life--one that continues even now, long after leaving Mongolia for his first home in the U.S. Read on to see this ordinary white American man make a new home in the Land of the Blue Sky--and continue his journey "home" to this day--in this story that will both raise your eyebrows and make you smile.
