23 most mysterious ancient world wonders that you should visit once in your life
1. Machu Picchu (Peru) In the 15th and 16th centuries, Peru's Machu Picchu was the royal garden and sacred religious site of the Inca leaders. A century later, Spanish invasions brought the Inca civilization to an end. In 1911, people found more than 3,000 steps and 150 buildings here.
The cave is recognized in the world as the most beautiful.
Most of the park area is limestone and is linked to the Hin Namno National Biodiversity Reserve of Laos, forming a large Karst block. This Karst block accounts for 3/4 of the Park's area, has an altitude of 300 - 1,100m, is located in the northwest of Quang Binh and extends about 100 km along the Vietnam - Laos border. The Phong Nha - Ke Bang karst area of Quang Binh has the added advantage of having water circulating through the karst terrain and many other favorable conditions to form giant karst cave systems. Areas where the cave ceiling collapses will form "sky wells" (similar to the sinkholes in Son Doong Cave or Hang Vom). Long sections of caves with collapsed ceilings will expose rivers that used to be underground streams, such as Ca Roong River, Rao Thuong River... In Vietnam there is no karst area with ideal conditions for forming caves. so much and so loud.

"From Bolton's old monastic tower The bells ring loud with gladsome power; The sun shines bright; the fields are gay With people in their best array Of stole and doublet, hood and scarf, Along the banks of crystal Wharf, And thus in joyous mood they hie To Bolton's mouldering Priory.”

“We’re going to go up the back way,” my partner Eddie says. Fine by me. An always-energetic explorer of California, the route rarely matters to me. I'm like a happy dog with its head sticking out the window on road trips, wind buffeting my smiling face at 65 miles per hour, tongue hanging out.

You’ve heard of Arches and Zion National Parks in Utah? They’re great, but crowded. Popular. I’m the weirdo who's off exploring Utah's lesser-known Capitol Reef National Park instead.

PART III Andrea invited me to visit her again, our "do-over." So much had happened in the two years since I saw her in person. A month after I returned from the Oxford visit, I rushed to my mother's bedside to be with her in her final weeks of life. It was an opportunity to share words, space, love, and companionship with her one last time, one I would have missed had I not chosen to cut my trip short because of the pandemic.

The Midnight Madness
Amidst the quiet hum of the small town of Willow Creek, nestled beneath a canopy of ancient trees, there stood a carnival—an ephemeral spectacle that materialized only under the veil of night. Within its labyrinthine confines, where the scent of cotton candy mingled with the faint whispers of the wind, there lay a sinister secret—a ghost train that traversed the darkness, its passengers destined for a journey beyond the realms of the living.
The First Visit
READ PART II HERE: It was 2020–nearly a year after my trip to China and my first introduction to Andrea. We stayed in contact with each other long after the program ended and had gone our separate ways. We spoke every day and made plans to visit each other. In January, I finally bought my ticket. In February, I left for London again, this time alone. I would hop on a train from there and meet Andrea in Oxford, where she had just started her Master's program. I was to stay with her in the dorms for three weeks and then travel to her home in Norway together and spend a month there.

Finding myself in Miami, Florida, for the second time that year, I felt grateful for my newfound circle of friends and teachers. As I awaited my Lyft driver, eager anticipation filled me for the transformative journey that awaited me.

READ "PART I" HERE: My third adventure outside the United States was to Putian, China (the second was with a college friend to London for Spring Break—a unique choice that I'll write about later). It wasn't exactly a study abroad opportunity, but I was still in college, and a philosophy professor recommended the experience to me. She knew I was interested in Eastern philosophy, focusing on Daoism, and thought a trip to a Buddhist temple in China might be up my alley. She was right.
