About the author
Отрывок из книги
Traveling around the world and visiting a few of the world’s ancient man-made wonders has been a wish of mine for many years. This trip would become a type of scavenger hunt with traveling to and locating each ancient wonder during my trip.
The challenge, as it is for many people, would be to have the time, money and a traveling companion. With having the time and the money to travel, I was not able to find a traveling companion and made the decision to travel solo. I learned that solo travel offers flexibility, by being able to travel to places of my choice along with the ability of meeting interesting people more freely along the way.
