What Is a Yurt? Everything You Need To Know about Yurt
Yurts, often found in the mountains of Mongolia and Central Asia, are traditionally made from wood and felt. They were originally used as portable dwellings for nomadic tribes who migrated across their territory. Traditionally, yurts were circular with a cone-shaped roof supported by poles. But yurts have evolved over time to be more durable and versatile than ever before. Today, they can be found all over the world—from campgrounds to mountain lodges to city backyards.
The last time I had a proper house with walls, roof, a bathroom and a kitchen was in the year 2015. I was in New York City working the business executive life. From that point on, I took a dive into a the vastness of the unknown and settled in a variety of minimalist nomadic houses that have included an off grid yurt, several tiny houses, and my camper. I have lived in farms, campsites, eco-villages, people's gardens and nature parks from the west coast to the east.
I never planned for a life like this and I had no idea when I started that I'd be still in the nomadic way of life so many years later. What started as an adventure has become a lifestyle that has forever changed my way of life and seeing the world. I’ll share what each one has brought to my life.

Do you even yurt, bro? Leave 🎪🎪🎪’s in the comments if you’d stay here! • • I am ALL about unique lodging options. I travel for outdoor adventure, but my other main priorities are finding the best food or coffee and staying in the coolest accommodations. 🍦⛺️ I often use the @roadtrippers app to first check out what’s around the area I’m visiting. That’s how I found this cute hot springs resort and spa while on my recent Colorado trip! 🏜 The boyfriend and I needed to kill some time before road tripping from Great Sand Dunes to Aspen, so we filtered the app to show us outdoor recreation sights along our route — and there were SO.MANY. hot springs! 💙 • • We hit up the Sand Dunes Swimming Pool RV Park and then drove up the road to this place, @joyfuljourneyhotsprings. 💆♀️💦 If you’re in Colorado or visiting the dunes, do yurtself a favor and book an overnight here (they also have tipis and a lodge)! • • • • • @visitcolorado #notanad #visitcolorado #coloradolive #yurtlife #yurt #yurtliving #passionpassport #explorecolorado #mytinyatlas #roadtrippers #roadtripusa #coloradoroadtrip #joyfuljourney #joyfuljourneyhotsprings #roadtripping #hotsprings #coloradohotsprings #coloradogram #coloradolife #glamping #glampinghub #glampinglife #gltlove #femaletravelbloggers #moffat (at Joyful Journey Hot Springs Spa) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoRixpAntFz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1enjkiftdhcor
