The Inca Empire’s splendour was spoken about in the ruins of antiquity. The sound of rustling leaves in Kyoto’s calm bamboo grove was like a symphony of peace. The historical mystery stared back at me as I stood in front of the Sphinx in Egypt. Iceland’s Northern Lights illuminated the night sky with magnificent hues as they swirled and changed colours. As I walked through Marrakech’s crowded streets, the colourful souks and enticing spices piqued my interest. The magnificent fjords of Milford Sound on New Zealand’s South Island left a lasting impression as a reminder of the magnificence of nature. These vacation memories have remained imprinted in my heart, satiating a lifelong desire to travel.
