Today’s Photo Friday comes courtesy of Meet, Plan, Go! Minneapolis host, Katie Aune.

Katie is 11 months into her career break and just finished volunteering with the Zerafshan Tourism Development Association in Tajikistan. She took this picture on the drive from Penjikent to Khujand, saying “driving through the mountains in Tajikistan was one of the most harrowing experiences of my entire trip, but one of the most beautiful and rewarding as well.”

You can follow Katie’s adventures on Katie Going Global or hear more in person at the Meet, Plan, Go! national event in Minneapolis this fall.
