Why you Absolutely Need to Visit These Destinations
As with everything in this world, certain aspects fit in your comfort zone and some, probably more adventurous aspects, fit outside your comfort zone, in the unknown, shall we say. Traveling to destinations off the beaten path, encourages us to discover the wonders of our world for ourselves and develops our view of our planet, opens our eyes to different beliefs from different countries and we get to live the same life of the people from their respective countries.
While each culture and country can differ from ours, understanding what causes each of them to stand out, pushes us to paint a better picture of the world we live in. It also prompts us to think of how different we would be if we had been born on another side of our planet completely.
Without further ado, here are the countries you absolutely need to visit at least once in your lifetime:
1. Mexico: Where Tacos Meet Timeless Tradition
Welcome to the land of fiestas, salsa and tacos - Mexico! Beyond the tantalizing flavors of street food, Mexico boasts a vast land of cultural treasures. The ancient Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza are available for exploration and to find out more about an ancient civilization that spanned for thousands of years.
Dive into the crystal-clear waters of Cancun and lose yourself in the vibrant markets of Mexico City. It is there where the historic Zocalo Square beckons with its lively atmosphere and centuries-old architecture. Dive into the local street food scene, tasting the rich flavors of their cuisine and sip on mezcal in trendy rooftop bars
Afterwards, head south to Oaxaca for a taste of indigenous cultures and intricate artistry. Explore Monte Albánn, an ancient Zapotec archeological site, before indulging in mole, a rich and complex traditional sauce. Mexico is a great place to go for people from all walks of life where the warmth of the people and the zest for life will leave you with memories as spicy as their salsa.
2. Egypt: A Time-Traveler’s Oasis
Unlock the mysteries of the Pyramids in the bountiful land of Egypt, a living museum of ancient wonders, inviting you to step back in time. Begin your odyssey in Cairo, where the bustling Khan El Khalili market and the Egyptian Museum set the stage for your journey.
Of course, just like no visit to England is complete without a rainy day,? no visit to Egypt is complete without marveling at the Sphinx and the imposing pyramids of Giza, an amazing testament to human ingenuity. A little cool fact and a little food for thought is that, historically speaking, Cleopatra is closer to us inventing the telephone than the construction of said pyramids, cool!
Cruise on the Nile on a traditional felucca, witnessing all life along the riverbanks and exploring the temples of Luxor and Karnak, where the Valley of Kings resides, offering a full catalog of ancient Pharaoh and King’s tombs stored there from across time with two giant statues guarding the entrance, opening the way to travel back in time to their civilization. Egypt, where history whispers through the wind and the Sphinx guards ancient secrets, promises an adventure straight out of the pages of a thousand-year-old tome.

Embrace the mesmerization of Mount Fuji’s landscapes and hot springs of Hakone, however not all of them permit people with tattoos, so be on the lookout if you find yourself in that pot.?
