Therefore, you have signed up for a new term life insurance policy. All talk of death and passing on have you wanting to explore the world. There is no better time than now to start that sight seeing career. Here are a few places you should add to your tourism list.
The Great Pyramids and the Sphinx
Time to knock out one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The pyramids will leave you speechless as you sweat your rear off. Take plenty of sunscreen and water, as this will be a full day trip of roasting in the desert. You get bonus points if you can name the Kings that reside in each pyramid. Don’t forget that the Sphinx is one piece of rock. How did they get all that rock there anyway?
Take a trip to Stonehenge
Stonehenge is one of richest archaeological sites in the world. Stonehenge resides in Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire, England. Stonehenge is most famous for the large rock pillars that form circles. There are more structures here though. Check out a few of the Neolithic and Bronze Age sculptures.
Go see Nessy at Loch Ness
Loch Ness is one of three lochs located in Great Glen. Loch Ness also happens to be the largest of the three lochs that divide the North of Scotland.
Loch Ness comes steeped in controversy as well. Many believe an ancient dinosaur resides in the loch as well. Many photos and videos litter the Internet as proof of the creature’s existence. There has been no concrete evidence of this creates existence though. Who knows, maybe while you are there you will find the evidence the world has been waiting for.
Climb to the top of the world and hit the Incan Ruins
Machu Picchu is home to the lost city that hides out high in the Andes Mountains. Incans lived in this city for less than a century. The city was lost for hundreds of years. A university expedition discovered Machu Picchu in 1911.
Machu Picchu also offers up a wealth of history. Just outside of the ruins, you will find sites like the Sun Gate. The Sun Gate is a notch cut out in a mountain ridge that perfectly frames the rising sun during specific times of the year.
Check out the Gold on that pavilion
Completely covered in gold is what defines The Golden Pavilion in Japan. You read that right; the entire pavilion runs in river of Gold. In 1950, a Buddhist novice burned this landmark to its very foundation. It took less than five years for the pavilion to get the resurrection treatment. Look for the phoenix on the roof while you are there snagging pictures.
Just because you have a term life insurance policy does not mean you should stop seeing the world and all of its splendors. This is a tiny list and the world is a large place. Use this list as a starting point and leave those thoughts of term life insurance blowing in the jet fumes of your departure.
