Читать книгу My Trip Around the World in 18 days - Chris Psy.D. McKell - Страница 2

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.

It was not my intention to write this book before leaving on my trip. After I returned, I planned to write a personal report to recount my experiences. While I was writing, I found I had so many interesting and unique experiences to write about, my report turned into this book!

This book shares, from my around the world trip’s experiences: the various ancient manmade wonders I visited and details involved with traveling to each, and includes riding my first camel (which I had not planned on before), along with interesting people I met.

Various dramatic events occurred along the way, which included: my backpack malfunctioning on my very first day, missing a flight, not being able to receive help from a U.S. Embassy in India and then getting help from the Delhi Police, being taken advantage of, being confronted by Israeli airport security and bumping into objects while driving on the left side of the road in the U.K.

I have provided helpful tips along with other useful insights. Over 80 photos are included. I also developed a visual travel aid prior to leaving which I found quite useful for getting around in places I visited where English is not spoken. My travel aid is now available in a separate book I have produced called Get Around Photos (see last pages).

This book is dedicated to the memory of my Father. He would have enjoyed traveling on this trip.
