Hello! Thanks for checking out my blog. My name is Brittany Bondi, and I created this blog for a few reasons, though primarily as a journal to record my thoughts and adventures throughout my 10-months in Mongolia.

I studied abroad in Mongolia for three months in Fall 2017, and I promptly fell in love with the country. Following a month-long research project, I decided to pursue a Fulbright to continue and expand my research. My academic interests include environmental justice, climate change, and human-nature interaction. I’m both thrilled and honored to be able to pursue some of these interests through a Fulbright.

A few fun facts about me:

• My favorite Mongolian foods are khuushuur and banshtai tsai
• The name bondismiles is simply a reference to my instagram, which is just an oddball selfie account where I do not, in fact, smile.
• I believe that a Pop-Tart ^® is a sandwich, but I do not have a strong stance on the burrito-sandwich debate
