Visit Machu Picchu
The ancient Inca city of Machu Picchu can be considered as one of the most incredible and fabulous spots in the world.
The city is situated on a mountain in Peru.
This place was built in the 15th century and remained hidden for many years.
Even when the Spaniards arrived at the continent to destroy local culture, they weren’t able to find it easily.
Nowadays the city is in ruins but it is well-preserved and surrounded by a beautiful landscape with emerald mountains and thick forest.
Also, on your way there, you can see a few Peruvian llamas.
The place is known for its magical, mysterious vibe and scientists still work hard to learn its secrets.
Machu Picchu is known as one of the “new Wonders of the World’ and there are lots of people around the world that want to visit this place.
You can get there by train, by bus or on foot.
If you decide to give preference to the last option, you should consider choosing the Inca Trail.
It is a 3-4-day hiking route that is known for its beauty, as well as numerous natural and historical sights.
It is clear that it is better to accept this challenge when you have enough stamina.
Go Scuba Diving
Try some new activity that is out of your comfort zone.
Scuba diving with its underworld wanders can be a great option.
Under the sea, there is absolutely another world that will impress you with its colorful fish and corals.
Before enrolling in this exciting activity, you need to complete a short training course.
Among the best spots for scuba diving, there are Ko Tao in Thailand, the Egyptian Red Sea, the Great Blue Hole in Belize and the waters surrounding Bali, Indonesia.
Learn a New Language
Learning a new language is both good for your brain and useful, rewarding experience.
If you are interested in a certain culture or want to visit a specific country, it can be a good idea to learn its language.
In such a way, you can learn something new and make your trip more exciting.
You can enroll in some courses or just use one of the numerous mobile apps.
There are lots of free and paid options and one of the most popular is DuoLingo.
The app offers various language options and interesting tasks for anyone who wants to learn a foreign language.
Of course, the best way to learn a new language is a total immerse.
In other words, if you want to learn Spanish, a trip to South or Central America can be a great option.
In fact, new language knowledge can change your life significantly and provide you with a variety of new opportunities.
Get Back to Nature
Each country has its own amazing national parks and amazing natural spots.
It is a great option for anyone especially if they have a small budget as there is always an opportunity to explore some local parks.
The US citizens have an opportunity to visit a whole bunch of gorgeous parks such as Yellowstone, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon.
There you have an opportunity to enroll in a variety of exciting activities such as boating, fishing, hiking or camping.
You’ll for sure be able to find something that fits your preferences.
Go to the World Cup
If you are a sports fan, the World Cup is for sure an event you need to visit.
This event takes place every 4 years and the next time it will be held in 2022 in Qatar.
Also, it is a great opportunity to visit some of the nearby Middle Eastern countries to enjoy the local culture.
The World Cup of 2026 will be hosted by Mexico, the USA, and Canada.
Just make sure to buy tickets beforehand as prices can be really high as the event approaches.
Safari in South Africa
Safari is one of the most unforgettable and exotic experience anyone can have.
Isn’t exciting to see the ‘Big Five’ – the leopard, the lion, the rhino, the elephant and the buffalo?
There are several spots in Africa where you can have an absolutely great Safari experience.
However, we believe that the best places for Safari are in South Africa.
If you want to have a full Safari vacation, it is better to stay in a lodge.
Salar de Uyuni
One other great spot in South America is the Salar to Uyuni, in Bolivia.
It is the absolutely gorgeous salt flats that are the largest in the world.
There you can take a bunch of beautiful photos and get a lot of incredible memories.
Once, the plains were a huge lake but later it has dried-out and turned into a white salty desert.
I would love to try some of these before hitting the big 3-0. It’s a great reminder to make the most of our youth and explore the world while we can.
