Somehow after crossing Russia on the Trans-Siberian railway, I ended up with a donkey. Life did not prepare me for this adventure, but let's go! In this video, I will explore the mountains of Tajikistan with my donkey Serge, study how to speak the Tajik Donkey language, and most importantly, learn how to interact with him and how to travel together.
