Sarah Fischer has specialised in Mongolia issues as a travel journalist, photographer and author for the past 20 yrs and has lost her heart to these warmhearted mongolian nomads and their beautiful country. The first time she travelled Mongolia, she had the feeling of „coming home“ - as an adopted child, she didn‘ t know her origin. As she has travelled about 190 countries in the world so far, she
creates content for customers of the tourism industry for social media, catalogues or brochures and she is booked as a testimonial for campaigns and travel agencies/tour operators. Besides workshops for pupils, in which she gives them an insight into mongolian nomadic life, she compiled trips to Mongolia for the DAV Summit Club and the photo tour operator World Geographic Excursions. In 2021 she will lead phototours for them. For the car rental company Sixt in Mongolia, she is contributing photos and her know how for the german campaign: Escape to Mongolia. Her guidebook Mongolia was awarded with the ITB bookaward in 2015. In addition she supports german TV channels and production companies by organising shoots in mainly Mongolia but other countries like Southafrica, Madagaskar, Ethiopia, Norway and a lot more. She supports companies, that are planning to set up a branch or are working on projects in Mongolia concerning the introduction of employees to the mongolian culture. Fischer is beeing represented by the agency Kochan & Partner. Travelling in general especially to nomadic tribes, documenting their life and getting to know them that`s her passion. In addition she is a real mountainlover and loves to spend time outdoors. For fours years she worked for the record company Virgin Records in Munich and Warner Music in Hamburg before working for MTV Networks in Munich and Berlin. As she has always had the travel virus in herself she started her career as a presenter and photographer in 2004. Ten years she toured Germany and Austria with her show about Mongolia. Her free speach and her authenticity are two pillars of her success. Sarah wants to inspire other people and state, that adventures are far more important than material things. Her motto: Do not regret what you have done, but what you have not done! Partner:

And here I was staying with Sain Zigzig and her daugther; the Shaman of the Clan of the Reindeer nomads in the East Taiga of Mongolia. That was in 2009.
On the following pictures you can see her daughter, who has become a mother herself and Sain Zigzig, who in my opinion has hardly aged.
What an encounter that was. A lot has changed within the past 16 years. They got starlink, 4G, new cars and live in blockhouses in the winter. But in the summer and fall camp they all still live in their tepees.
