Odgerel Purevdorj

My name is Odgerel but most people call me Odka for short. Odgerel can be translated as 'Starlight". I"m 32 years old and I was born in the capital of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar.
I am a qualified professional with more than 8 years of experience in the tourism industry. I really enjoy meeting travelers and showing them around my beautiful country. I have had the chance to travel throughout Mongolia, learning and enjoying the experience as I collect more knowledge. I know my country very well and I'm willing to make your visit and experience a great one.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I specialize in a diversity of services working to provide the best service to my travelers. A few examples of specialized tours are cultural, historical, and adventure tours."

How did you get involved in travel?

"I was always very proud of our thousand years of history, endless steppe, and historical sights. Even though I was born and grew up in the city my love for the countryside and nomadic way of life was strong. I wanted to find a way to show this to the worldwide people, that is how I became a tour guide. It has been my dream ever since I was a child. This dream became my interest and hobby and led me to study in tourism management. I love tourism and I am looking for ways to make it better and better."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"When I first became a tour guide I did not have any experience to ride a horse before. On my first tour, I had to ride a horse for 3 days. I was so nervous and I was telling myself to remember what the Mongolians say,” We are born to riding horses”. Because I was starting my dream job, I braved myself up to mount on the horse and rode like a Mongolian. Ever since then riding has become one of the activities I enjoy. I surprised myself that day."
