The Peace Corps- Mongolia, Tour Cycling, and Stilt Walking With Beth Godshall
Beth Godshall was in the Peace Corps as an Environmental Volunteer for 1 year in Mongolia. She lived in a ger, or yurt without running water, so she had to walk to the river whenever she wanted to bath or cook. She witnessed the magic of horse whisperers, or people who tame wild horses by whispering in their ears, started a museum in her town, and participated in a snow leopard survey.
Beth and her husband's fourth date was a bicycle tour from Indiana to New Orleans and then over to Austin, Texas in the United States, where they ended up making a living through bicycle delivery and pedicabbing for several months. Beth has been working as a stilt walker since 2005 and puts smiles on plenty of faces with her home-made outfits and tall stature.
