Getting from one place to another always proves to be an interesting and important part of the travel experience. So why not mix it up a little? This week we explore some memorable modes of transportation: planes, trains and automobiles have been excused from the list. (But parachutes, jungle trams and motorbikes made it).
Just yesterday we ushered in the first day of the last year of the world. Um, according to the Mayans, I mean. Although I have outgrown fears of apocalyptic prophesies, what I never seem to get enough of is my love for ancient buildings. Twice have I been to Mexico, and twice have I taken a day away from the beautiful beaches that line the Caribbean Sea to visit the temples of the Mayans: Tulum and Chichen Itza.
Although fairly new to 30, I can’t help but look back at my 20s and think of all the things I will never be able to do again. One of these things is being a college spring breaker in Cancun, Mexico. But realistically, that’s probably for the best. Here’s info about the fifth country I visited during my travel goal to visit 30 countries by my 30th birthday. Learn what else Mexico has to offer, besides crazy college kids and amazing tequila.
So… I turned 30 and the world didn’t end! Who would have thought? I am happy to say that I was able to complete my travel goal, and am making my way through a quick recap of the countries I visited by my 30th birthday. Why USA? Just to experience the different sub-cultures the country has to offer. The “melting pot”, as it is known, is different from east to west coast, from north to south. Oh! and soul food… make a trip just to get you some grits!
Ten years ago I set a goal to visit 30 countries by my 30th birthday. With no plan or country list to fulfill this goal, I decided to let life take me where it wished.
“See Simi Travel Blog | Adventures of a travel snob“, is just that. The account of an ex-20-something year exploring the world, usually solo, and on a very limited budget.
Every other week I try to tell you a story about the friends, food, fun and fails I’ve had along the way.
