About this ebook
In 2006, Patricia Sexton set out on an adventure most of us have only fantasized about—she quit her job to pursue her dream. Thirty years old and a rising star at a Wall Street investment bank, Patricia realized she wanted nothing more than to work as a foreign correspondent. So, she did just that. After landing an internship at a national TV station, she made the move to Mongolia.
In the midst of being promoted to anchor of the Mongolian news, Patricia had the opportunity to meet unique people following their own unique dreams: a Mongolian hip-hop star who worked in London restaurants to make ends meet, or the French corporate exec now tracking endangered horses in the steppe. All the while, Patricia is living with Mongolian Mormons, camping with nomads in the Gobi desert, and even crashing Genghis Khan's 800th anniversary party.
Live from Mongolia is the story of this ongoing journey: from a corporate career, to a dream job Patricia only imagined.
