As part of our Frequent Flyer series, we post follow up stories from previously spotlighted travelers. Gemma is a textile designer from Sydney Australia with an affinity for capturing details that ignite the senses on her travels. The impressive list of countries she and her husband have explored include Uzbekistan, Nepal, New Zealand, Malaysia, Portugal, and Ethiopia - which she shared about in her previous feature. Now she's back to shed light on the beauty that exists within the Central Asian nation of Kyrgyzstan and why she thinks other visitors should strongly consider visiting for themselves.

My husband Andrew and I travelled to Kyrgyzstan back in 2011 as part of a four month trip travelling along the Silk Road and throughout the Middle East.
