Mongolia sounds exotic, but it's easier and less expensive to do-it-yourself than you may think. On her first-ever sojourn abroad, Sage Cohen spent three months traveling Mongolia with a bicycle. She spent the subsequent two summers there, traveling by four hooves and a thumb.

Sage has become an intrepid traveler since her 40th birthday.
