I started traveling late in life. I was 24 before I saw the ocean. That was a pretty big deal for me. I also fell in love with the water and NEEDED to see more. More of the water, more of the world, and more of the people. When I was 30 I went to Mexico and visited Chichen Itza. Chichen Itza had been voted one of the new Wonders of the World in 2001. That's all I needed to hear;I decided what better goal then to see the 7 new wonders of the world!
Between 2007-2009 I saw 5 of the wonders AND the honorary 8th wonder the Pyramids of Giza. I've taken a little break since I met my now husband and ended up moving to Europe. My old traveling partner has also gotten married and settled down. This year however I'm renewing my goal. I'm planning on seeing the rest of the wonders, at least ONE this year.
What are your resolutions?
Chichen Itza, Yucatan Mexico 2007
Machu Picchu, Peru 2008
Great Wall of China 2008
Colosseum Rome Italy 2009
Giza Pyramid Complex Egypt 2009
